Pretty girlfriend in pretty Japan.

From New Album 4/28/09 11:08 PM Here's a picture of Alex on the footbridge in front of Okayama City's famous black castle.  I'm pretty sure the entire thing burned down in the Second World War as a result of Allied bombing, but the Japanese have done an incredible reconstruction.

I don't remember where I found this flower, somewhere in Okayama, but I think it's a poppy.

From New Album 4/28/09 11:08 PM Night scene outside the Okayama train station, where Alex and I were playing with slow shutter speeds to try to get streaky headlights.  I got a couple of good ones, but I decided I liked the shuffling feet better than the headlight traces.
