About This is one of my favourite Tokyo statues. It's in the grounds of the Yasukuni Shrine where Japan's war dead are enshrined, including the war criminals. But I still think it's a quite moving statue if perhaps bit on the sentimental side. Simple greyscale conversion from colour negative film.

Great work

Mixed feelings about the sentiment to be honest. As photo a good piece of work despite the apparent harsh light it turned out in nice grey tones. Have a good Easter Roger. Regards, Rob.

Know what you mean, Rob. I have mixed feelings too. I think it may have been intended to encourage women to sacrifice their husbands, but to me it is just a sad and lonely woman facing the future without her breadwinner, and with children--one at least too young to understand that a wicked war has taken their father away for ever. Great peace propaganda, looked at that way!

The exposure was very difficult to judge... and I had to do some careful work dodging and burning to get it looking like this. Glad you liked the result. Colour was no good at all.

Yes, a very nice statue, Roger, expertly captured as ever.
Kind regards, Chris
P.S. We've had a brilliant day! Seeker-type event this evening brought ina couple of new faces and one of our biggest audiences ever! The morning service was really good ~ and I can say that because I wasn't preaching!!
Tomorrow we're off on a church outing to see the O.M. ship 'Doulos', which is docked in Southampton. One of our young people has been serving on the ship for the past 18 months. Have a good week, Chris
