A while back, I posted a blog mentioning about my tour to see the underwater ruins at Yonagunijima. Well, this is the boat that took us there. This is the one that I got sick on and didn't get to see much of the ruins. The reason why I'm posting this is because of the humor behind it. It wasn't until after the tour, and just about the time that I shot this photo, that the crew told us that the boat has a nickname of "Gero-boat" (ゲロボート) which translates to "Barf-boat".....


These two were taken in Okinawa on our way to an island off the main island (I can't remember the name of it!). Looking through the view finder while driving is a dangerous thing so I stuck my hand and camera out and this is what I got. I little scary, because I didn't want to drop the thing but gave it a try anyway.

This is one for "douzo" since she liked the previous one so much.....

In June, my family and I went to Yamanashi and stayed at a place near Yamanaka-ko. We had 2 seperate rooms and one was on the 8th floor and was the best suite in the building. Not only was the room/s very nice but so was the view. This was the view of Mt. Fuji!!!!

It's been a while since I last posted a blog. Between work and moving, my time has been real limited. So hopefully now that things are a little more on track, I hope I can update regularly again.....

Here is two taken with my cellphone. Here's another trick: Use your sunglasses as a filter. I didn't take a comparisonn shot but this one scene was real bland without my shades in front of the lens. Gave it a yellow tint toward the top (using shades with a gradient) but this looked much better than without the yellow.
Sake barrels at Kamakura.




These aren't much at all. They're my first attempt at trying to catch lightning. In my opinion, the most difficult to shoot.

This is actually a re-post of a previous blog with the photo I shot last year. Since today is the 62nd anniversary of the a-bomb dropped on Hiroshima, I thought it would be appropriate to post again.
