For time to time I’m receiving e-mails from painters asking permissions to use my photos as inspirations for their painting. I always give such permissions. Why should I deny that anyway? And I always wanted to see what the outcome would be. Some artists said they would send a photo of completed work to me...

Kinkakuji (also known as “Golden Temple” or “Golden Pavilion”) is one of Kyoto’s best-known attractions. It was built in 1393 as a retirement villa for Shogun Yoshimitsu Ashikaga. He intended to cover the exterior with gold, but only managed to coat the the ceiling of the third floor with gold leaf before his death. After...

Hooker Glacier Valley in Southern Alps that lies in Mackenzie Region is probably my favourite place on the South Island of New Zealand. I don’t know why. May be because it is very familiar to the Left Talgar River valley in the Norther Tien-Shan mountain range where I hiked great number of times. I felt...

I’m glad I took two tripods on my trip to New Zealand so I was able to shoot at sunset with two cameras with different lenses – wide angle and telephoto. Laziness is definitely a bad character trait for a photographer. Aoraki/Mt Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand, reaching a height of 3,754...

Belfry at the Daisho-in Temple, Miyajima, Japan. The bell was rung to tell the time in the morning, afternoon and evening in the past. Now it is rung to start the time for worship. Daisho-in Temple is an ancient one of the most important temples of Shingon Buddhism built at the foot of the sacred...
