I'm heading out to the festival today. Aren't the taiko drummers amazing? I'll try to get some live footage...possibly an interview.
Wow, those photos are amazing!
Great pics! What do you shoot with?
I shoot with a lowly Nikon D50 SLR. In this case I was using a Tamron 300mm lens (not the newest DSLR one which is an awesome lens).
Nice shots, HD.
After seeing your stuff, I found a schedule of upcoming obon fests around Socal. See you there?
