Where Did I Get My Blog Title?

Yowayowacamera.com is one of my favorite sites to go see the creativity of a Japanese girl who loves to take pictures of her levitating.

This girl's name is Natsumi Hayashi. 
She lives in Tokyo with two cats. Her photographs are mainly levitating self-portraits (and cats not levitating).  yowayowa is a Japanese term meaning "weak" or "feeble."
Since I'm yowayowa, it's really heavy to carry SLR cameras around.





She introduces herself in Japanese as well:
よわよわカメラウーマン = 林ナツミです。
CANON EOS 5D Mark II (重い)で
本日の浮遊シリーズ(セルフポートレート)と
日々のできごとを記録しています。

「よわよわカメラウーマン日記」はリンクフリーです。


I like to think of her setting these pictures up and having someone or having a timer take the pictures. There is a certain degree of choreography that is deliberate for every levitation that looks so effortless.
