Claude Monet's home, famous garden and lily pond are located in the village of Giverny about 40 miles northwest of Paris. Monet lived and painted in the home and garden for 43 years. Today they are open to the public. It is absolutely beautiful especailly in the spring. It makes a great day trip out of Paris.
12,500+ photographs, 3,000+ miles driving, 250 miles hiked, and 500 hours later, I am very happy to present to you, Light Of The Night. A short film capturing just a small sample of the beautiful New England star filled landscapes. Putting this short film together has been one of the most incredible journeys I've yet to embark on. Traveling from place to place, hiking hundreds of miles of New England's trail systems, meeting a an awesome bunch of other photographers along the way, the lovely and unpredictable New England weather, and last but not least spending so much time under the stars, are the memories that I will remember for a life time.
Tokyo - Autumn Colors Part 2
from James T. Kirk
Finally ready, the second part about the autumn colors here in Tokyo. For that film, I went to several parks with my friend Mayumi, who is a dancer here in Japan.
When we were shooting, the music was not decided yet, so she was just moving without music, inspired by the beauty of the nature, we have been surrounded by.
Later, I chose the classic song "autumn leaves", in the original and two pretty rare versions, sung by the japanese singer Shiina Ringo and Hildegard Knef, adding some orchestral parts and instruments of my own too.
The Shiina Ringo version sounds overdriven sometimes, but it is in the original CD-version too.
At least, I was often tempted to add more artistic effects ... but finally I decided to keep the most of the takes in natural colors. Hope, everybody enjoys watching it and special thanks to my friend Mayumi, who was a perfect add for that scenery.

Imagine to stay in the middle of a wonderful place where you can create reality using your imagination.
Nature can be compared to an ancient dimension without time and space. It doesn't need any explanation, just take your time and explore colours, feelings, memories. Sometimes this is videography.
