Never Too Old,
Back in 2012, I spent a Sunday morning in a park in Ebisu. After spending time watching families and children play, I noticed an older fellow pretending to be an airplane come through the park. I can’t say I really learned anything from that, but for some reason it made quite an impression on me that day. Still does. Not sure why.
Ten years ago today, but a Sunday rather than Saturday. Where is he now, I wonder.

I think she loves me. Every morning at the station, she stares at me. She won’t take her eyes off of me. I try not to encourage her, but she never gives up. I think I am starting to feel the same about her. As I stand there waiting for the train, I cannot help but imagine the things we could do together if only one of us had the courage to make the first move.

E-Wan
The old ramen shop near Yukigayaotsuka where local workers would often have lunch. The building had seen its better days when I first saw it in 2006 or 2007, but the owner lived upstairs so like many of these old shops, it was also a home. I haven’t been there since covid began and I wonder if it is still around.

Coffee Break at Roppongi
Ten years ago.
While I was taking a photo of this scene a young woman approached me and asked what I was photographing. I always hate these sort of things, because about 99% of the time I cannot really explain it, nor do I want to. But this was different for young women hardly ever approach me so directly to ask about it. Plus, her interest was not just the standard question, for I noticed a titanium Contax G2 around her neck. It turned out that she was a photography student at the university where I taught technical writing at the time. She took out a box of black and white prints and told me that she was taking part in an exhibition to open in the area.
I later went to the exhibition, but afterward never saw her again. Every time I look at this photo, I think of her. And that mint Contax G2 around her neck.

My favorite part about japan so far is without doubt the food. Especially in Tokyo there’s nothing you can’t get
