It’s a really big change. From being just a photo blog into a “real” blog. Reality may be overrated but so far it has been surreal for me. So here we are. You’re still reading so that means you don’t mind at all. LOL!

So what am I going to talk about here. Well, life (like you haven’t have enough of it already), the reality and insanity of it probably. I promise I won’t lose the photos. I’ll still upload one whether the entry is a personal one or just a photo entry.

Speaking of which, I apologize (again) for the lack (or absence) of updates. I didn’t really stop taking phone photos. In fact, I kinda gone overboard with it with me getting an iPhone. Diverting from the original theme of this blog to not postprocess phone picture (that’s a lot of P’s), I remain true to my “mobile-ness” by sticking to postprocessing on the phone. Since I have an iPhone, I got myself a lot of apps which is a lot of fun, fun, fun!

So far I haven’t posted much iPhone photos yet. I’ll post one now. Tell me what you think (both of you).

I hope this isn’t a bad change for you. As for me, I’ve gained lots of English-reading friends (LOL) who I may not see after 7 months. This is one way of staying in touch and hoping that they read enough to comment. LOL!

Well ’til next time.

Air conditioner vent. I loved the lines of the vent and how they contrast to the chaos of the vandals on one side of the vent. I figured it might just work with a lomo effect and it did.

Phone PP (post-process): moreLomo app for iPhone

These pebbles were shot just below the famous Iwakuni Kintai-kyou bridge. They are only ordinary pebbles but still pretty to look at as they contribute to the landscape of the river.

Read about Iwakuni and its bridge here.

Miniature figure. Just right I guess. Miniature camera (phone camera) for a miniature setting.

Another lantern shot. Sorry, it was sakura season so lots of sakura festivals which means a lot of lanterns especially if that festival includes a light-up (where places are being lit-up).

Sakura is the Japanese term for cherry blossoms which is probably the national flower of Japan. The sakura only blooms for one week once a year.which is why the Japanese flock and cuss over these flowers.

I love love love the reflections on the bus’s windshield. Taken also in Nakano.

Sakura season is here and each town is having a sakura festival!

This is in Nakano (where the cheapest 2nd hand camera shop in Tokyo can be found). Each lantern represents a donor I guess.

Just reminded me of the device used in Star Trek. Hehe.

That is actually a pillar I turned upside-down. So no, they are not stairs but they do look better as stairs. You never go wrong with train stations near Shinjuku then fancify everything like modern art.

Chocolate coated babanas are a thing in Japanese festivals.

Now why do you suppose this one pink banana was placed here away from the rest?

Yup my creativity just ran out. I can’t think of a decent title. Argh!

There are trinkets sold in a festival booth. Don’t think they’re charms. Just trinkets I guess. As Japanese luuurrrvveee cute stuff.

I ain’t drunk yet! It’s still 3! Keep it comin’.

Using a type of bee eye lens of some sort for phones. Yep got myself some phone lens to play around with. Woot!
