So I moved the blog down a level, down to /blog so I could have a new top page sort of thing going on.

Pure Goofiness:

Developed some film last night and found this photo of some children at a summer festival at Akagi Shrine in Kagurazaka.

This is a corner near my new apartment.
It was a sunny morning this morning.
(Taken with a Leica M8 and Cosina/Voigtlander 25mm f:4 lens.)

So, where was I?
I woke up early this morning, 4:55, to be precise. Could have gone back to sleep, I guess, but I went to bed pretty early, so I decided to stay up.
Fewer distractions in my new room, I guess. I got myself a small apartment last week in Komagome. It’s tiny, but clean and quiet, which is what I wanted.
Komagome is in the northern part of the city.
Looking at Google Maps, it seems that I’m just around the corner from Kyu-Furukawa Teien:

I went there once a few years ago. It has a big European-style house, French gardens and whatnot. I expect I’ll be taking a lot of photos there in the future.

I haven’t moved completely out of the Kagurazaka place—I’ll be living there part of the time, part of the time in Komagome.

Back, blogging, untangling the mess of broken DNS, servers and links…
