Have a good one.

Posted by Duncan Galbraith (kyoto, Japan) on 19 January 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.

I thought a nice way to move into the weekend might be to take a wee walk around the block and visit the odd coffee shop or three. This and the next two images were all shot within 30 seconds of the office, during lunch break. Ive still to find a 'Monks' though...anyway, make mine a chai latte to go, and have a good weekend people.

wow! i keep looking at this, duncan - and my eyes can't seem to accept it as reality - the processing, i guess that softness out right of frame, and the wide angle gives it an otherworldly feel - cafe bon, lilliput..i really like it ..have a good one, lad

Yeah, a good 'Monks' can be hard to find. Love the miniturisation effect the blur provides; nice lunch-time shot!

Heh, when I saw the photo I was about to ask if that was yer Monk's. The search continues... It wouldn't be so bad if one of us lived in Spain or Italy. Tons of Monkses. But Chris is right, this photo looks like it's of a very detailed model. Or maybe a music video, where a cardboard cutout man walks out of the door.

Nice job on this. The blur really gives this shot an intersting look. Chris is right, it almost looks like a miniature.

Love these little places. Looks like shops I've seen many times walking through Japanese neighbourhoods. The blur on the right looks highly unnatural, though which for me detracts from the image.
