My true love https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hFTCzYHye9o/U8zYn0xfuXI/AAAAAAAAKc8/p-ujwRkl4lo/s1024/img446.jpg The life of a nomad wino https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ghieqhtT-M0/U8zYouPGaOI/AAAAAAAAKdE/sb1ZIe--Mng/s1024/img447.jpg I’ve been walking these streets so long… https://lh3.googleus...

I also have some Fuji Superia 400 coming - only $2.25/24 shot. These cheap films aren't all bad! Chris Chris, cheap is good! When I shoot color film I go with Fujicolor ISO 100 color print film. I think it's only available domestically here in Japan. It's cheap to buy and cheap to have processed (I...

A couple of years ago Skin Bracer changed the original ingredients by replacing hydrogenated castor oil with poly glycol.

Beautiful pictures, Mike! I've been to the Hakone region (don't know if that's where you took the pictures) and had one of the most relaxing times of my life at a local ryokan. Hi Monk! Hakone is about a 3 hour drive from my house and I've visited the area countless times. It's especially nice to v...

Nice images, Mike. I especially like the second and the fourth. Is there a smaller volcano in front of Mt Fuji? - Murray Murray, I don't think it's a volcano. I do know that the entire area is the way it is because of Mt. Fuji. There are 5 lakes that surround Mt. Fuji that were created by the erupt...

I spent Saturday and Sunday traveling around Mt. Fuji. Here are some of the pictures I took along the way. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-r4e3XP_ZSp8/VB6yvYtIpOI/AAAAAAAALL8/qsJP29LVfRs/s1152/SDIM4514.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-J6lMVNLLBm8/VB6ygeU_34I/AAAAAAAALLQ/6NJezupcHAw/s1152/SD...

As a wine drinker I never want to be anywhere without a cork screw and I have always been a pocket knife carrier. I don’t like heavy bulky knives so the Swiss Army “Waiter” was the perfect knife for me. Simple, lightweight, compact, with the two essential items I require: cork screw and a blade. The...

All good stuff, Chris, I'm a big fan of Fuji's Acros 100 film and I think it suits your style of photography very well.

Here are a few pictures from my Saturday walk-about.

Barbasol’s Brisk aftershave is an inexpensive Mennen SkinBracer copycat. Or is it? Technically I think there is no doubt that it’s a copycat, seeing as how SkinBracer was on this earth decades before Brisk showed up. They both look the same (green color), they both smell the same ( both smell like S...

I love it! I'm a Bookbook kind of guy.

A few pictures from last weekend on Izu peninsula. We spent three days traveling around the peninsula enjoying Summer's last gasp. We had intended to do some swimming at the beach but the weather cooled off and the Sun went on vacation so we did a lot of walking around enjoying the ocean view. A lon...

Another glimpse into your world. Thanks, Mike. I especially like the "Happy ashtrays" and I was amazed to see a Harley Davidson motorcycle there. Wouldn't a Harley be pretty expensive in Japan? - Murray Hi Murray! Harley's are actually quite common here. I don't know what they cost, but t...

Please post more pictures. I absolutely miss Japan and I compensate by eating natto and drinking Japanese alcohols. Hi Lyrt! I'm with you on the Japanese alcohol! Especially Nikka’s new release of “Coffey Grain” and “Coffey Malt” whisky. They are incredibly good. http://www.nikka.com/products/grain...

August, if the heat doesn’t kill you it can be quite an enjoyable month. Cruising the streets looking for some action! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--6z4aL4epic/U_pCaFZYxWI/AAAAAAAAKyM/hIY5v4yRfRY/s1024/SDIM4280.jpg Somebody's reason to live https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-sI5HpHUszMs/U_pCb...

Yes, she is quite striking in a very good way.
