“Welcome To The Muppets Show!”

"Welcome To The Muppets Show!"
We walked right into a colourful parade at the Universal Studios in Japan. The weather was brilliant then and even in the almost glaring sunlight, I managed to snap quite a few interesting and colourful shots. This particular one is of a “live” performer engrossed in his air guitar strumming. From Wikipedia.org:

An air guitar is the imaginary instrument used when pretending to play guitar. Playing an air guitar consists of an exaggerated strumming motion and is often coupled with loud singing or lip-synching. Air guitar is generally used in the imaginary simulation of loud electric guitar music, especially rock, heavy metal, and so on.

Interestingly, there are organized air guitar competitions held in many countries, including a world championship which was held first in Finland in 1996! I wonder if there will ever be an “air camera” competition one of these days 😛

Dangling From The Window

Dangling From The Window
I caught sight of someone hanging out her laundry from the window while on my morning trip to the Cantonment Road area two Sundays ago. Unfortunately, I was too far away to capture the nicely-lit candid moment. My compensation was the above shot that I captured when I got much closer. I like the elements of the composition (the window, the air-conditioner and the laundry) as well as the quality of the morning sunlight that illuminated what might otherwise have been a very mundane scene.

The quality of the early morning light at Cantonment Road has kept distracting me on my drive to work over the past week 😛 I decided to pay the area a visit this morning after yesterday’s overnight call at work. I managed to catch a number of shots I was happy with although I wished I could have stayed on longer (that was not possible since I needed to catch up on sleep! :P). I will definitely be visiting the area again some time soon!
