    Honorable Mention

Sumo competitions and demonstrations intersect Japanese sport, culture, and artistic display. By posing as an event photographer, I was lucky enough to gain access into the front row of a sumo competition. These shots display wrestling, promotion and customary generational hand-off ceremonies. All shot on: Cinestill 400D and Portra 400 Leica M6 Voigtlander 28mm f/2 Ultron Version II Voigtlander 90mm f/2.8 APO-Skopar VM
