Exploring Kyoto with the Hasselblad
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Exploring Kyoto with the Hasselblad This was my 7th trip to Kyoto, but my first one with the Hasselblad.

Daily Photo – A Miniature Kyoto I forgot where exactly I saw this intricate little model, but I’m pretty sure it was in Singapore, judging by the windows way in the back.
