2016 Calendar - Japan Outdoor Photos

The problem with calendars is that they are hung on the wall, written on, abused and finally they are thrown away. This book therefore includes all of the photos shown in the above listed five different calendars in a nice book form that can be kept forever so that the photos can be enjoyed again and again without being thrown away at the end of the year. Each photo is shown with a very brief description that explains what it is and where it was taken.

You will note that as there are five calendar titles shown above, there should be five photos for each month. This is generally the case, but not always. In some cases the authors selected fifteen or twenty of their best photos taken during the year to consider for inclusion in the calendars, but of course a calendar can only include twelve images and they had to make some tough decisions about which photos to include in the calendar and which to set aside for use at a later date. This book includes some of those photos which had to be set aside for use at a later date. When they show you a photo which was not used in a calendar they indicate that it was not used.

Daniel and Kazuya's "Outdoor Photography of Japan: Through the Seasons" book includes some of the same photos as this work so if you have purchased that book do not be shocked if you see two or three photos which look familiar to you.
