Old Home of Chen Ci Hong (陈慈黉故居)

Posted by GJC (Kyoto (京都), Japan) on 1 April 2008 in Architecture.

Hope you aren't getting tired of pictures from this place. I was going stark raving mad because it had the two things that as a photographer I love most: good light and old architecture. But if you're tired of this old place, come back in three days and it will all be over. For the rest of you, here are a few more . . .

On the contrary, I love this! The colors, the composition, it's beautiful when framed into a picture. And the Eastern atmosphere keeps being preserved... this couldn't be in Paris or London, but why not, I can't tell.

I like it ! Even the lack of the window adds an effect to the picture.

Simple, but stunningly beautiful ... and all of these shots taken with your "B" camera – it is a pearl in your hands.

Keep them coming... It's a good way to challenge yourself as a photographer/artist. That is, to see how creative you can be within the confines of a particular space, or subject matter.
