Hita
A series of photos taken in the historical preservation district in Hita, Oita, that focus on two-dimensional composition. Similar to the recent post I did on Omori.
Traditional Japanese architecture offers a variety of pleasing proportions and textures.
Juxtaposing with natural forms.......
Sometimes a simple, repetitive pattern works..... this is in front of a museum of the local matsuri which I will cover in a future post....
Existing artwork and advertising is often a good subject. One wonders what a compulsory fire might be.
Many times property owners create their own aesthetic arrangements.....
A fundamental function of the photographer is to choose where to place the frame.....
