Today, I went to a school I had never been to before, but I didn’t have to. To make a long story short, I was supposed to go to the school yesterday and today, but the schedule was changed. The person at my company who handles scheduling said he had emailed me [...]

Wow. A week’s gone by, and I haven’t really had anything exciting to report. Well, “no news is good news,” I guess. I have been busy with a lot of (boring) stuff; final exams at my high school, preparing the syllabus for next year’s classes at my college, etc. I [...]

I am off to bed, but I thought I would post a few pictures I took at Kourakuen Station and Tokyo Dome today. I will finish giving them descriptions and rename them later. The first few are from Kourakuen Station, after I got off the train. They have beautiful murals along the [...]

I wish I had an exciting story, but, I guess it’s true: “No news is good news.”
I took my little Canon Ixy800IS again for the first time in a long time, but I only took a few pics. One good thing is that I have been enjoying reading some Japanese literature, both in [...]

Ikebukuro is a major shopping and entertainment district in Tokyo, not too far from Shinjuku. Unfortunately, I don’t go there too often, but for the next couple months I will have more chances, because of my job. I often transfer at Ikebukuro on my way to Tokyo Dome.

As I mentioned before, I will be working at Tokyo Dome, on Wednesdays, for the next couple months. Here a few pictures I took before my class yesterday. It is a huge area, full of photo opportunities. I’m looking forward to taking a lot of pictures there! Here are just a [...]

Shinjuku. It has its own beauty.

Update: It’s late, so I just planned on posting this picture and going to bed. But looking at this picture, I just remembered that the very first blog post I ever wrote, on blogger.com, I used a picture almost like this one. That was back in May [...]

I’ve seen this a million times, but never like this!

I took this in Shinjuku, on January 2nd. I still have some more pics (including a bunch of Christmas lights!) from that day to put up. I’ll try to get them up in the next day or so, when I have time.

If you have ever considered a DSLR camera, especially a Nikon, here is a good introductory article from Mike Davidson. He discusses how to choose a camera and lens, and why you shouldn’t worry too much about megapixels. This is pretty basic info, but well-written.
I agree with his praise of Nikon’s 50mm [...]
