Aikido Yuisinki

As I mentioned yesterday, my partner M did his black belt grading in Aikido about 2 weeks ago, and I went along as semi-official photographer for both the grading and the class beforehand. It was a lot of fun to photograph; I sat myself under the nearest piece of furniture, and waited for everyone to forget I was there. I only had to duck flying people a couple of times, so it went well!

You can see the full gallery of images here, or if you want more information on this really friendly and nice bunch of people, you can go to the Aikido Yuishinkai site here.

Update - Exhibitions and Images

Well, life continues. The exhibition looks like it's going ahead; the current date for opening night is June 15th, after I get back from Japan, so keep it free! I'llbe sending images off to print tonight, and expect to be spending the next couple of weeks matting and framing frantically; wish me luck and no paper cuts.

I'll post details of venue, times and theme once everything is confirmed and all the details are finalised, so stay tuned.

In the meantime, I've been keeping busy on a new series of images - "Serenity". Some of the sample wallpapers I posted a few weeks ago are part of it, so if you liked those, stay tuned for the complete set. And I recently documented my partner's black belt grading in Aikido; I'll be posting shots once his sensei has had a chance to take a look. I'm really happy with the way the images turned out - very dynamic!
