Japan has feudal castles, too! This was another activity that involved climbing lots and lots of stairs, and looking at really old things. But pretty old things. Here’s a couple of my favorites:
Main Tower
View from the top floor of the main tower.

Ok, that’s all you get! [...]

Fushimi Inari Shrine
Fushimi Inari Shrine is perhaps my favorite place I’ve been in Japan so far. It’s a gorgeous hike up a mountain via a bajillion stairs through thousands of orange gates. The place has a certain serenity to it that I’ve found very difficult to come by on such an overcrowded little [...]

I spent this past weekend in Tokyo with my good friend Sean Horrell, who is a great photographer, with an especially gifted eye for cities (and who is sadly nowhere on the internet, so I have no links for you). We went to see a concert, but the rest of the trip sort of [...]

To be honest, I’m not exactly sure what I was going for with these, but I knew exactly what the shoot should look like. I’m pretty fond of that little robot, even if it is a cockroach. I often turn it on and watch it walk around the living room, bumping into things [...]

In the interest of wrapping up the summer trip to Ireland neatly, I have one more post regarding that trip.
We all spent one day poking around archaically old druid tombs. Knowth and Newgrange are both rather large burial mounds, and definitely on the must-see list for cool old shit in Ireland. You can [...]

Since I’m leaving again for Ireland in a few short days, I feel the need to wrap up the report of my last visit.
After a few days in the city, it was time for an adventure on my own on the outside. Howth is a favorite place of my friend Ronan, so he typed me [...]

I just got the photos from this up as well.
My friend Mary Beth’s supervisor, Madoka, is married to a Zen Buddhist priest (who took the name “Zen,” actually). Since Madoka is one of th nicest people in the world, she and Zen invited a small group of foreign English teachers to come have a meditation [...]

So. We all know by now that I’m terrible at getting photos up and writing about things soon after they happen. Let’s accept that and move on to the “better late than never” philosophy.
That said, welcome to the rural town of Sakuma.
Near the end of this summer, my friend Gillian, who is in her third [...]

As my friend Liam pointed out to me (about one minute ago), Japan is overflowing with festivals on a level you just don’t get in most Western countries. I’ve been to two since I arrived in Japan, but I’ve heard many more happening around my area (usually indicated by seemingly random fireworks and the occasional [...]

Still without internet access at home, and that major annoyance should finally be remedied by next week. But, in the meantime, I’ll give you an on-stolen-time update from work.
I finally finished getting all the pictures from Ireland up on Flickr, so that photo set is complete. I swear that I’ll retroactively recount the rest of [...]
