On the wonder of photography
I've enjoyed walking around the Daikanyama and Azabu districts of Tokyo ever since I was in my 20s. Over the years, I've taken all kinds of cameras along, but this was the first time with a digital camera. Although I know the area well, I noted changes everywhere, and found myself taking more and more photos as I went along. And because the camera is so light, I didn't mind stopping to talk to strangers. It was a great way to spend a holiday afternoon.
