Sakura
March 30, 2015I’m concluding my Yokosuka photography services on a great note. I met this family, my final clients in Yokosuka, through my holiday card session special. They are the kind of people you just have to like because they are so easy-going. Because their son was born in Japan, they really wanted Sakura photos taken while they were here. First came the Kawazu-Zakura of Miurakaigan. Smaller and pinker than the standard variety, I was really amazed by these flowers. The next wave was the standard Sakura. Large trees filled with cloud-like puffs of blossoms. My wife and I cannot agree on which Sakura to like more, they are both so beautiful. I was lucky to discover a park near my home, Hashirimizu, that opens up more space during the bloom. Hashirimizu is a beautiful location on the beach. It has faucets for what is said to be some of the best drinking water in the world. There is always a line of people filling up large jugs of this water. It was here that our session took place and if you happen to read this at first publication I recommend to head down there very soon as this beauty will not last long.
