The previous photo and this one was from the booth I manned at the Matsuri: Kingyo Sukui. For those who don't know what it is, you use paper nets to catch goldfish. It's a lot harder than it sounds. :)

We walk through our lives so focused on our daily tasks and griefs. It's important to realize that there is always hope, because without fail, there will always be a touch of color - in a hazy shade of winter.

@Craig: Yes it is. :) The paper is from paper towels, and the prize is you get to keep the fish!
It's a fun shot, but never did I hear of paper nets :o

Although this one is also beautiful, I like the previous one better from a photographich viewpoint. This one is more documentary because of the nets. I hope the fish will be put back :).
