Last Saturday, when I recovered a little in the morning I wanted to get out as soon as possible. The weather was nice, too. We went to a temple to see some mask dance. Unfortunately photography was prohibited, so no pics from there. The setting was fabolous, the masks were interesting. The clothes they had on was sooo beautiful.
Gecen Cumartesi biraz iyilesince hemen kendimi disari atmak istedim. Hava da guzeldi. Bir tapinaga gidip maskeli dans izledik. Ama fotograf cekmek yasakti, maalesef paylasacak bir sey yok. Mekan harikaydi, maskeler ilgincti, giysileri de oyle guzeldi ki.
On my way to the temple I thought of making some pictures of the streets, where everything is not so neat and tidy. These are representative shots, meaning you will see them anywhere, everyday. It's not always clean temples and kimonos in Kyoto.
Tapinak yolunda sokaklarda oyle cok da duzenli, temiz olmayan seylerin fotograflarini cekeyim dedim. Bunlar burayi temsil eden fotograflar, yani her gun, her yerde goreceginiz manzaralar. Her sey temiz tapinaklar ve kimonolardan ibaret degil Kyoto'da.
No architectural unity or pleasure; cables dangling everywhere; electricity poles always bang on the road, where there are no pavements; garbage on the roadside in front of every building (stays there all day). They live in prison-like buildings, in cell-like rooms. I didn't want to focus on this, because I got tired of this mindset after 10 shots.
Mimari butunluk veya zevk yok; kablolar her yerden sarkiyor; elektrik direkleri yol uzerinde, ustelik kaldirim da yok; copler adim basi, her binanin onunde, yol kenarina birakiliyor (butun gun de orda duruyor). Hapishane gibi binalarda, hucre gibi odalarda yasiyorlar. Bunlarin uzerine yogunlasmak hic istemedim, cunku 10 kareden sonra yordu beni.

There is stuff I can't make pics of...like how they push you around in transport, how the cars have a self-claimed priority at crossings, etc.
Fotografi cekilemeyecek seyler de var...mesela tasima araclarinda nasil itip kaktiklari, araclarin isiklarda, gecitlerde kendi tayin ettikleri oncelikleri olmasi, vs.
Hmm interesting how they squeeze their tiny cars away like that, without any parking places.. and what's that super long chimney for in between the houses?

Some houses have garages, some don't. Some sites (probably left from demolished houses) are being used as parking lots. It is much cheaper than in Amsterdam to park, but where isn't?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what the chimney is for, either.
