Taken with my trusty old Nikon D700 just after sunrise at Myoshin-ji Temple in Kyoto last weekend. 1/60 at f11, 35mm, ISO400. We’d spent the night at Torin-ji, one of the sub-temples at Myoshin-ji, and woke early enough to explore the temple grounds just as the sun was rising over the complex. While I stopped to make this photograph morning prayers were being chanted in the hall behind me, and everything seemed heightened and extra-real. Very Zen, really.
Hi Skye!
My name is Wil deBoer, I was childhood friends and schoolmates with Themba Lewis while we grew up in Kathmandu for a bit. Anyways, I’m now doing graphic design and photo-sourcing for Shutterfly.com. We are always in the need for various sorts of imagery and photography for our site, campaigns and products. We offer a couple options for professional photography source compensation so if you’re interested.
Thanks
