Kyoto Weekend

Filed under: japan, Photography — John @ 11:47 pm

From this Friday noon(?) to Sunday evening I will be in Kyoto. I have not been there since 2001
and that was only for half a day.

Since I don’t own a guidebook of any sort, my trip planning is of the “Find something when I get there” variety. But it’s not like I am going there to see anything in particular except hopefully some friends. And some of those temples I hear they have. Something about Kinkakuji Temple… man I don’t really care if I see it or not but at the same time there is this perverse attraction to go just to take THE PICTURE that seems to be required by tourist law.
I’ll do that, but get like someone’s head at the bottom of the frame or a railing or something. No no I know what to do– something like what I did in Kamakura in June:

Got my ticket (27,ooo yen) and now the fun part- what cameras to take? The Pentax 67 needs to be taken. Thinking a 40mm for the Leica too.
