PATTERNS (renovated with the new and footnotes)




A
It is mainly about the gap between the monk and the ad sign.
Obviously, the latter represents the consumerism and some pointed out that this has a bit of social satire.

B
Most of viewers misunderstands that this is made by digitally manipulating 2 or 3 photos, but this in fact was made by utilizing the mirror-like surface of the police station at the traffic, Ginza.
LOOK AT THE WARP WHICH DOUBLES THE BUTT OF THE CAB AND THE CROSSING ROAD!

C
This pattern itself includes 4 elements : a well-cut lawn, half melted snow, a grain of wood and a solid fence. Those have nothing special and not appealing, but it looks fresh when assembled.

D
the simplest one : a bulk of the clothes, the lines on the wall and man's claustrophobic figure and gaze. The mixture of those makes something.

E
the shape of pine trees' shadow is strongly controlled by the perspective. Also, I love the contrast between a homeless man, the horizontal line in upper and the wide scenery with nothing but a man.

Incredible.
The monk is far more beautiful than anything that Max Mara could ever dream of creating.

Was this taken in the winter time?

I would've loved to simply follow the monk wherever he was going.

Thank you for a great photo!

Actually, this was taken on September.

I just love the class that the monk has.

Thank you for posting your comment!
