Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 2 July 2009 in Miscellaneous.
Seen in Arashiyama, Kyoto.
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!
Srujan Chennupati from Hyderabad, India
Who's the guy in the photograph? Nice shot. Love the perspective.

@Srujan Chennupati: That is the famous actor Jean Reno, Srujan! Thanks.
Standley from Carquefou, France
Fine capture Daryl. This french actor Jean RENO is quite appreciated in Japan I believe!

@Standley: Thanks Richard, 'Le Grand Jean' is indeed very popular in Japan, even starring in several TV commercials!
Cheryl from Texas, United States

Ronnie 2¢ from Atlantic Shores, United Kingdom
Not sure what we are seeing here . . but, if that's a painting taken from the little photo, it is amazing work.

@Ronnie 2¢: That is indeed what you're seeing Ronnie - not an attempt at the kind of work you do!
Gilles Martineau from Granby, Québec, Canada
The painter has talent for sure and the photographer has done a fine capture!
