From the Vault: Street Corner

And here we go to Japan in 1998.

A million years ago, or so it seemed, the Ant and I traveled extensively. We did a big chunk of Europe, Hawaii, and Japan.

And then life ate both of us.

They are years that I miss and hope to get back to (the travel that is), because there is nothing quite like traveling alone or with just one assistant, a camera in hand, and an eye out for the beautiful. It’s why I so valued being sent to Florence, Italy in 2007 by all of you, and being sent out again by all of you to horse camp last year. Because by 2007, it had been almost a decade since I’d left the country.

In my book, that’s too long. There is so much World to see and so little time to see it in.

Anyway, I just loved the look of this rundown shop. So much of Japan at the time was so shiny and so slick. But even there? Decrepitude sneaks in.

Looks like an outtake from Bladerunner, doesn’t it?
