Japan, Photography

A bit of History

I just love looking at old photographs from Japan, especially ones taken during the Meiji and Taisho period.

Thanks to Japan Sugoi, I was able to look at some more.

I just love the pictures of Fuji-san, surrounded by a lot more farm-land and natural landscape than it is now.

Photo update

Finally got around to uploading some more of my photo archive. [EDITED 2010-Jan-16, since this post, I've migrated to Flickr. Links have been updated to handle this]
This time, it’s some of the photos I took during the last three months we were in Japan before we moved back to the UK.
During that time, we made quite a few trips to visit friends and family to say goodbye.

Quite an emotional time.

Dual Nationality

Grrrr. I still can’t get over the fact that this guy gets to have dual nationality. How come he’s allowed to, and most ‘normal’ people are not allowed to be Japanese AND ‘something else’. Pahh! :(

If/When Yuko and I have kid(s)… I really resent the fact that one day (20, according to Japanese law) they’ll have to choose to be ‘officially Japanese’ or ‘officially British’.

In Geek News, Adobe’s fantastic Lightroom software has been updated to Version 1.1.
