May I Interest You in a Delightful Cliché?


I was flipping through the photo file, and realized I really haven't ever taken a picture focused on Tateishi, the "Standing Rock" of this blog. The only one where it even features in the frame is this one, and it's completely black. There's a parking lot right next to it, from which you can--if you're so inclined--shoot it with Mt. Fuji and those pine trees that appear in the background, which is probably an activity as close to orgasm as some photographers can get. So, as the sunset makes its way across the horizon each year to backlight Fuji. there are certain days when the tripods sans cameras will be sitting there like squatting insects from early morning, as the shooters stake out their ground to capture a shot that would make the cut for any ultimate collection of postcards from Japan. At sunset, Britney would be pleased at the number of shutters going completely mad. And all I've got is this sad example. Sorry.
