Sunflowers are starting to bloom here in Japan. There are many around where I live and I think they are quite fabulous to see. They can get pretty big and the yellow is very beautiful. This is just a short clip taken with the Creative Vado HD to give you an idea of how they can be seen in Japan. This particular shot was taken near Nagano city in a residential area. Although these are pretty big, you can actually find sunflowers much bigger than this around the countryside. There are also a lot of bees around them too so you have to be careful.

A nice chilled out HipHop track set to a collection of photographs that fall under the theme category of “green” here in Nagano City, Japan. One of the things I often do in photography is to shoot with a specific theme in mind. This could be a color, object, motion, texture, etc. I find shooting for specific colors to be a joy and especially in collecting the photographs over time. Most of the photographs taken in this collection were photographed sometime in the summer or late Spring. I hope you enjoy they slideshow as much as I have enjoyed photographing the scenes within. By the way, “Midori” means “Green” in Japanese. “A Midori Summer in Japan” is by Jim Atwood Photography at http://jimatwood.net. The music soundtrack is courtesy of http://teddygram.newgrounds.com. Thank you!

This is the promotional video for my first full book, ‘Japan From The Inside’. The book contains collected photos and writings on Japan from 2003 to 2008.
This clip includes images from Tokyo, Yokohama, Hiroshima, Kamakura, Nagano, Kyoto and Okinawa, to name a few of the places featured in the book, which also has sections on the people, culture and nature of Japan. It ends with brief, previously unreleased footage shot at a traditional summer festival (‘matsuri’) in Tokyo.
”Japan From The Inside’ is a window into a land of superlatives.
Experience the world’s biggest city, its busiest train station, recovery from the first atomic bomb, or the planet’s longest life expectancies in this country steeped in tradition yet eye-poppingly modern at the same time.’ (from blurb.com)

One of the things I enjoy about photography and often get asked to do with clients is to post process photos in Photoshop. This gives a sort of Digital Art Photography look which is quite popular with many forms of media. This slideshow is a collection of images taken in Japan by Jim Atwood Photography at http://www.jimatwood.net. Music Soundtrack by http://domesticterrorist.newgrounds.com.
