SKETCHS OF JAPAN 1945: NOT MY WORK

This set is a collection of some of my own photographs that I personally like real well; it also includes some photos from the public domain or famous images you will recall from your art or photo studies. I have marked all the photos not mine as "not-my-photo." Thanks for taking time to check out this personal set of images that delight me. If you are delighted, leave a comment. If you like them well enough to favor them, great...

Here's the link to some of the contents of this long-ago Army Photographic Project.

PUYIL

PUYIL by kibayashi
PUYIL, a photo by kibayashi on Flickr.

WHAT IS SHE THINKING ABOUT? IS THERE AN EXAM SHE IS THINKING ABOUT? IS SHE TALKING ON HER CELL PHONE?

This is another work by Kibayashi I admire.

His work is becoming more than graphic excellence, but work with a pyschological content.

As I look at this photograph, I admire the composition, the contrast and the geometrics; I specifically admire the young woman contemplating a subject. What she is contemplating is where the mental content enters and adds more interest.

What is she thinking of? I do not know. I can only imagine. Thus there is 4th dimension that makes this photo very special.

This is one of my favorite sets. You have taken some great photographs of a great city. Someday, I shall return to Yokohama for an extended visit to sketch and photograph much that I missed. Your photos are an inspiration. Robert
