The camera I use, with my favorite lens, has been reduced in price again. You can now pick up a Nikon D750 FX-format DSLR camera w/ 24-120mm f/4G ED VR AF-S Nikkor lens for $1003 less than it cost me when I purchased it when it first came out.

In my dreams, Japanese fast food chains begin to appear in the USA, more importantly in my town. I know, this will never happen. That’s why I said “in my dreams”.

A different take today on an earlier scene. This is a 7-photo photomerge. The prior shot was a single photo.
Fascinating video on this former lake:
Hachiman Jinja (Tokyo, Japan)
Tenso Jinja (Nishiwaseda, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan)
After a 20-year gap in living in Japan, we went back to live in Tokyo for a year beginning in 2009. On our first night we headed to a Bon Odori at Tenso Jinja. That was a magical night for me.
Flash forward to 2013, and I hadn’t been to Japan for over three years. I wandered into my old neighborhood to find my local shrine getting ready for its annual Bon Odori. The vibe was bittersweet as I waxed nostalgic but also realized I would be heading back to the USA before the actual event took place the following week.
