last weekend's snow
Tokyo had a few inches of snow last weekend - the most I've ever seen here. I took a few photos with a Pentax Spotmatic I'm looking after at the moment. Here's one from a Japanese garden near Waseda university.

tengu
Just before new year we travelled to Nagoya by "ju-hachi kippu" (a discount ticket which is incredibly cheap, but only lets you ride local trains). This was taken in a station on the outskirts of Tokyo.

RIP film
Time has run out for film. Nikon announced today that they won't be making 35mm film cameras anymore.
Here's one photo taken on Kodak Gold anyway. An apartment block in north Tokyo.

snow and leaves
Just one more photo from Kyoto. Snow and leaves outside the gates of a temple. That was a a month or so ago, the rest of Japan has had a lot more wintery weather since then.
