I'm finally starting to get over it, I think, the whole self-conscious tourist thing that has plagued me for most of my life. Whatever you might choose to call it, I'm finally done with it. Photographically, what it means is, I'll go ahead and take the damn tourist shots, the same kitschy images that every other tourist makes. Just cuz. My personal Kodak Moments. And, as it turns out, this is a somewhat unique angle on the Matsumoto Castle after all, since most folks want to include the moat in their photograph.
Happy shooting this weekend, fellow traveler. Kitschy subject matter, or not.
