Kuroshiro Photos

Monday, 8 June 2009

"Kuro" means black and "Shiro" means white. In English you say "black&white", but in Japanese we say it the other way around "white&black". So it actually has to be "Shirokuro", but I can't help saying (without realising) "Kuroshiro" and that makes people make faces.
Well, so here are Kuroshiro photos from my collection, my interpretation of Black and White Photography.

01 Maison La Roche, Paris / 02 Musée Picasso Paris / 03 Somewhere in London / 04 A little shop in Yuigahama / 05 0467 Hasekamicho (good restaurant in Kamakura) / 06 Tokyo Teien Art Museum / 07 Fairycake in Tokyo Station

    You have to be careful to say white & Black and not the other way around unless you want them to call you hena gainjing
