Cistern Bench - 'Aware'

Cistern Bench Cross Section

Part of 12,000 gal rainwater harvesting project.

Cistern bench. Japanese aesthetic in play: Aware. Spelled like conscious, but pronounced with 3 syllables. ‘Ah Wah Rey’ A nostalgic feeling for the past, expressed formally in the regular Shinto Religion EG the rebuilding of temples with new materials matching those centuries old.

Arduino powered LED proximity responsive lighting tech.

Is there a little lock icon, or an angry warning? Is your artwork licensed? Call me to update your unresponsive, slow and insecure site.

As a photographer you know exif data is essential to managing your image portfolio. For those who shoot film, embedding exif data is extremely time consuming.
