I bike across town and have lunch near the lake. Most of the winter birds have left, but I guess an all-you-can-eat diet of fish pellets and bento box offerings, convinced this seagull and a few of his friends to cancel their return flights and take up urban living.

Cycling in the laneways of Nakasu Japan.

Updated 17th Jan: Answers to readers emails. Tech Note:
I usually use a digital camera for the blog and website photographs.

This photograph is from a photo session that I set up to test different 35 mm films.
It is Fuji Natura 1600 developed at a local lab, and then scanned using Silverfast on a Microtek ScanMaker i900.

Nowhere Slow. 9:50 pm. Waiting for the express trains to pass.

Passengers exit, some stand in the doorways, cigarette smoke drifts in with the bugs and others insects. The creeps look for girls to sit close to, the insects bang against the fluoro lights or abandon hope, dropping to the floor or down the back of my collar.

I peer into the darkness and think about the earliest known version of the necktie worn by China’s first emperor Shih Huan Ti and how ties were first brought to Japan by Mormon Missionaries as gifts to English language teachers who couldn’t afford to buy strong lengths of rope.

Catch my reflection in the window, Happy Birthday. My face ages in dog years – one year equals seven. For times like these I need a hobby, nothing too physical, a hobby to keep my mind on the little picture. Read a book, listen to music, eat, sleep. Ten minutes feels like a lifetime in Gods waiting room.
