I remember a photography project I did in college. The assignment was to find all the letters from A-Z and photograph them. Not the actual letters mind you but images that reminded you of their shapes. Have you done any similar projects where you try to photograph something to remind you of something else?
That's quite an interesting project. I'm both a photographer and a graphic designer, so it seems like I'm always unconsciously trying to find meaning in shapes and converting my intentions into graphics.
The photo above the Hishino Tunnel one is somewhat creepy, with the pipes coming out the walls.
Creepy pipes and hanging wires aplenty in Japan.
Hi Gianni! What's the deal with the hanging wires, though?
I'm glad you asked because I have written on this subject.

Finally an answer to a question that have been bothering my husband and me for a long time. Thanks a bunch, Gianni, ありがとう!
My pleasure!
Pipes creepiness aside, I'm surprised you found the name of that tunnel. (^o^)
I try to indentify as many details as possible in your pictures, Akira-San. That's where I truly enjoy your vision as an artist.
It's an honor. Thank you!
That last door looks like a gate intended to keep some horror monster or evil spirit contained.
Or maybe Amaterasu Omikami is hidden inside.
If that is the case we must open that door, and let the goddess out.
If you sing and dance in front of that door, she will probably come out. However, if a monster appears, please exterminate it.
I will be sure to do so, and will keep a sword and a cross near at hand, just in case.
I wish you good luck! (^_-)
Merci, gambarimashoooooo!
May I bring my longsword when I visit Japan one day?
