Love this pic.
Love the reflection in the small puddle.
Also the shadow it casts.
You really do take awesome pictures.

Thanks a lot Joe, the sun made all the work!

for the show....

great pics mister !!!

Thanks Kikaiju!

I prepare you a series of explosive photos

As always---mind-blowing photos Tan-ki.

Thanks Jay!

Tanki, are those live grenades??

ahah!! Yes!! but demilitarized

Stunning photos! You really must publish a book of your photos Tan-ki, you are extremely talented!
...ah! I actually bought a grenade from an army surplus store in Maryland (not a live one). I wanted to fly home with it, but the in-laws didn't think it would pass checked luggage. They were going to send it in a few weeks, then 911 Sept, 11 hit, and then it became impossible to send . Holding one in your hand, it's really hefty--you can imagine the damage it would do, shards exploding in all directions.

wow, insane. you take wonderful photos.

tan-ki, your photos are amazing! I keep coming back to this thread to check them all out.

Thank you all for your positives comments!
I had never been surrounded so much with weapons, it was a strange photography session. All these weapons are demilitarized and of periods 39/45.

Man, tan-ki, your photography always blows my mind. Do you ever sell enlarged prints?

Thank you Rex!

I can make it for you if you want

Lovin' this pic!

thank you!

You really are a great photographer. I really like your style.

Thanks for sharing those pics !

This one is "killer", literally! Very clever use of the narrow depth of field and the look back pose to give the hint of what the trooper has done, love it!

Poor Kanegon, I hope he makes it. Great photos!

Thanks a lot !
All the pleasure is for me!


It is exactly the impression that I wished to give. This trooper is very dangerous, take care!!!!


A big thanks for all of youl, I am glad that my photos work pleases you.
