I think artist Shibakouen Hamutaro just inspired me to look for new subject matter in my photos. I've always liked abandoned sites as subject, but why not abandoned everything else, like amusement parks! Here is a link to a site in English that talks about artist Shibakouen Hamutaro and the Japanese beliefe of the life cycle. Very well put by the creators of websiteKrin Big In Japan:
" Locating an eerie beauty in these deserted locations is the ongoing photographic documentation of Shibakouen Hamutaro. There’s something very Japanese in this ability to appreciate the aesthetic of transience and the process of decay. In Leonard Koren’s book Wabi-Sabi: for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers he explains how the notion of completion has no basis in the traditional Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetic because all things are either evolving from or devolving to nothingness. A beauty of things imperfect, irregular, impermanent, rustic, incomplete and ambiguous, wabi-sabi is a distinctly Japanese worldview that shows the vulnerability of material things and is in contrast to the Greek ideals of decadence, monumental beauty and perfection that have informed aesthetic values in the West." 11/30/2010 10:35:34 am

The biggest trouble men and women have with utilizing these career internet sites is always that likely clientele are commonly overcome with the number of estimates they acquire for their project.

I’m glad asbestos isn’t used anymore. It’s a shame that all people who are already exposed to asbestos tend to be suffering with mesothelioma. Comments are closed.
