- If you use my work, I would really appreciate credit. It helps me grow and provide more content to share with you all for free! Please credit: www.instagram.com/igcait. An obliga-torii photo of Fushimi Inari’s famous gates in Kyoto, Japan. The day I was at the shrine it was absolutely packed. To get this photo I only had one shot - I literally sprinted as fast as I could in front of a huge group of people on the path so I could get at least one photo without anyone in the frame. Luckily it paid off - I ended up with this picture of the afternoon light trickling through the vermilion torii.

- On her way home. In Gion district in Kyoto, scenes like this are not too hard to find. The lady with the umbrella is a maiko, an apprentice geiko. And do not think that the kimono she wears was chosen at random. It was a perfect match for the time of the year (autumn). Also notice at the way she's walking and her posture. Perfection.

- Ghosts. The lady with the flowers in her hair is a maiko. That is an apprentice geiko. And since this is Kyoto, it's "geiko", not "geisha". Geisha operate in Tokyo. Geiko are becoming becoming more and more rare, so it looked appropriate to photograph them as ghosts, fading away in their habitat.
