The perfect picture


Last autumn I was helping my sister to find a photographer for her wedding. I was
looking at wedding photographs online when I saw my first sakura picture. Sakura,
or cherry blossom, are light pink flowers that arrive in spring on cherry trees. The
flowers are very beautiful, and very popular in wedding photos in Japan. In fact, the
sakura flowers are very popular with everyone in Japan.

After my sister’s wedding, I needed a quiet holiday. I decided to visit Tokyo and see
the cherry blossom. I booked a week in a hotel at the end of April. I bought a new
camera and searched online for the best places to look at the trees. I arrived safely
and checked into my clean, comfortable hotel. I slept well and got ready for my first
day of sakura photography.

Then the problems started. Although it was morning, when I arrived at Inokashira
Park it was already very busy. Large families were having picnics. Couples were on
dates. I couldn’t get near to the trees. My pictures were a disaster. At the end of the
day, I went back to my hotel feeling quite sad. But when I was looking at my photos
that evening, I found one picture of a little boy looking at the flowers. He was
laughing. It was a great picture.

The next day I returned to Inokashira Park but this time I only took pictures of
people. I spoke to people who I thought looked interesting – people with colourful
hats, or unusual hair, or nice faces – and I asked to take their picture with the
flowers. I had fun and I met lots of friendly people. Now when I look at my sakura
pictures, I remember the cherry blossom but I also remember the stories.

Example: The writer has a small garden.
