I had this idea a while back for a series of photos. Basically my thinking was that here in the country much of the landscape is dominated by fields of rice. And as the months of rice growing go by the landscape changes hugely depending on the rice fields state of maturity. Like most plants I suppose. Anyway, I thought if I took pictures of a rice field over the months it would help my readers actually understand what this Yosano place looks like (for the most part). Well that was the plan...
Ultimately it failed. I can think of a number of good reasons for this. I don't own an actual camera. I'm not a photographer. And this year was a bad year for rice. The summer was too cool (good for me, bad for the rice), so it never really hit the heights of maturity that it did last year. This means instead of being able to show the changes in rice - from just planted sparse rice fields, through lush green, until finally ending up in light golden yellows - I've instead ended up with a series of different shades of green. Add to this a mobile phone camera and a photographer with no sense of "good lighting" you have a mess of green fields.
Still I did take the shots, and have archived them for your viewing pleasure. I also put together a quick collage of them. Because Picasa can...
