This image was made in Kyoto, Japan over New Years 2009.  We made sure we arrived just as the temple grounds opened at 9am, that way beating the crowd allowing me to photograph Kinkakuji in relative peace.  Also, the temple faces east, so the morning is the best chance to get sunlight to reflect off of the temple and heighten its gold look.  I was lucky in that there was a significant break in the clouds for me when I was shooting the temple.  As we left an hour later, clouds had completely taken over and anyone making a photograph of Kinkakuji then would not be shooting it at its full golden glow.  I felt lucky.

A maiko is a geisha in training.  I photographed this maiko in Kyoto, Japan around New Year's 2009.  She was walking with another maiko along a well-known street for possibly spotting maiko heading out to their evening's work.
