What am I thinking about?

Posted by Kelly Photography (Tokyo, Japan) on 21 November 2006 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Winter in Tokyo is the season for illumination and the warmth of art and culture. So even though Tokyo can reach tempertures where snow will start falling we can still feel (atatakai) warm from observing local and international art.

I took this picture in a very popular shoppin mall called Venus Fort and I found the art that was displayed on this day to be breathtaking.

I'm not sure who the artist was but I couldn't have asked for much better positioning and lighting to snap off this shot.

hi, i'm from malaysia, and i can't get the Canon's Kiss X brand in Malaysia. never heard before. looking at your picture, it has a very sharp image produce from the camera. is it a new brand series or it will never reach Malaysia?

Amazing! really, it's so surreal I first thought it was a collage. Really great picture, I'm almost voiceless.

@ Dona Lowii. The Kiss X is the new 400d Canon it's just an upgrade from the Kiss N or 350d. Its got more pix and has more focus points. I think the iso goes up to a higher increment and frames per second are one frame faster...oh and it has a larger display at the back. I'm sure if you log onto the Canon website you'll find out more about it.

The Kiss range is exclusive to Japan only. Other countries have different names. Hope it helps.

absolutely love this pic. so crisp and a really unusual subject. nice one!
bought the kiss x yesterday here in kyoto. still reeling from parting with that much cash and still trying to work it out. only scratched the surface so far. looking forward to mastering it - hope i can do it justice!

Very cool image; the lighting really sets off the sculpture, and the symmetry make a great composition.

Dona: The Canon KissX is just another name for 400D or XTi. KissX in Japan, XTi in North America, 400D everywhere else.

The Juxtaposed Image from Tallahassee, Fl, United States

Techincally a good photograph but your photos so far seem to lack people in them. Why is that do you suppose. People are intresting subjects. A great photo would have been a little girl staring at it or an old woman with him looking over her shoulder. Again just my opinion. Means nothing.

Angry Buddha from United States

Great picture! I like the light fixtures behind the enormous cranium. They look like fireworks at a quick glance.
