Just came back from the States (business trip) and I can't believe how much gas prices have increased. When I first got there about six years ago gas was under a dollar but now!
"It must be borne in mind that the tragedy in life does not lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach for. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream." ~Dr. Benjamin E. Mays
Never be surprised by what you can find in the Ginza district. I came across this Hakka restaurant while walking around shooting in Ginza. Also, there is actually a Royal Selangor in Ginza. I was impressed! Kodak Tri-X
Not the best place for cherry blossoms photos, but I shot it anyway. What you are looking at is the rubbish dump at my place. Pretty good looking rubbish dump eh? Shot on Fuji Provia 100.
Spring is finally here, again. I went to the Tokyo National Museum last Saturday to look at Leornado Da Vinci's The Annunciation. The digital image shown in the link does no justice at all to the real painting I saw with my own eyes. What a masterpiece, a genius work of art, the crème de la crème. Every single inch of the 98x 217cm painting tells you something about the moment and the spirit of the moment. Every single detail was painted to perfection. I should be there to see it once more before the exhibition ends. I wonder if modern artists today are able to paint something like that.
