WESTMINSTER


月曜日の夕方から夜に掛けて、サウジアラビアから来た友人とWESTMINSTERと言う場所へ写真を撮りに行きました。BIG BENを始め、LONDON EYEまで周りました。中でも不思議な吊り方をしたEMBANKMENT BRIDGEが見物でした。建物は物凄くディテールが細かく、白黒の世界観がとても似合うと思いました。地震の無い国は古い建築物が沢山あって良いですね。写真もほぼ加工せずに、いい味が出ます。これからも、もっと良いスポットを探して行きたいです。

"This Monday, I went out to take pictures with my new Saudi Arabian friend at WESTMINSTER. We started at BIG BEN and ended at LONDON EYE. I especially got into the bridge called EMBANKMENT BRIDGE. It was interesting how they made to hold the bridge in balance. The place was wonderful to take pictures in monochrome. And the old architectures were brilliant too. They can stand here forever unless this country has an earthquake. Anyway, I will have to keep on searching new spots."

    ヨーロッパの街並は白黒が似合うよね。
    僕もいつもAOKI TAKAMASAのブログを見ながら思います。

    Yes I do love Big Ben,each time when I go there I have different kind of feelings. I have so many memories about this place.
    When I am happy I can smile and keep walking by looking around,When I'm angry or little bit sad I like sitting next to Big Ben or London Eye and think about everything what's on my mind.

    P.S:I knew it that you took this pictures with love,I can feel it when I see. It's important to put some love in what you do,otherwise it can be part of you as a your creation.

    When taking pictures,
    I think composition is the most important thing.
    Anyone can take pictures in high quality but,
    not everyone can take them in a good composition.

  11. Hi Taro,
    I just went through your blog, and it´s quite interesting. I really like these b&w pictures...good stuff.
    I would love to see more design works of your´s, the business card is really fascinating (especially after getting to know about that Japanese manner), and your graduation work looks nice and clean too.
    Well, I hope there´ll be a chance for that - either online or by person (of course if you have them with you here in London) ;)

    Take care
    Peter
