"The Fool Who Takes Photos."
📷 NIKON Z 8
cizucu Editorial Team
When you think of summer, you think of festivals, and when you think of festivals, you think of Bon Odori. This photo captures a scene from the centuries-old entertainment 'Awa Odori'. You can almost hear the sound of the instruments.

"A Summer Sky Like an Anime"
📷 Canon EOS R6

This photo captures a large cumulonimbus cloud floating in a vivid blue sky. The cloud, peeking from behind traditional Japanese buildings, reminds one of the start of an anime depicting summer vacation adventures.

"A Tunnel You Should Save Before Entering"
cizucu Editorial Team
This photo captures a dark tunnel cutting through a forest. Summer is the perfect time to be reckless and take that first step into adventure. But don't forget to save your progress so you can return safely.

"Should I Skip Work Tomorrow?"
cizucu Editorial Team
This photo captures three people diving into an emerald green lake. We chose this work as an award winner for its full expression of a carefree summer. The phrase "It's all because of summer" is often overused, but summer truly is a time to lose oneself in play without thinking ahead. Let's hope the reason for skipping work isn't due to injury, considering the height of the dive.
In Conclusion
How was it? Were you able to capture the fleeting memories of summer before they slipped away? Looking at the photos submitted to the contest, it feels like we all had a great summer together. We look forward to another Summer Jam Session with everyone next year.
