PaD: Zuihitsu Photo Gallery by Walter Otto Koenig at pbase.com

PaD: Zuihitsu

Zuihitsu is a genre of Japanese literature consisting of loosely connected personal essays and fragmented ideas that typically express the author's feelings with respect to their surroundings. Sei Shonagon's "Pillow Book" is a perfect example.
I decided to apply this idea to my photo a day gallery beginning January 1, 2008. One image for each day. A little story, one for each image. A little discipline for me. I will do my best.
Only the images from the most recent months are shown. Older images are archived at the end of the gallery. Check out the archives. You never know what you'll find.
