No Salt

Tastes better that way. 

Here, have some milk and cookies...

As you look into her eyes...can you do that?

Just Watch

No more than a few minutes

Wouldn't want to spoil your appetite for the main course...

Can you still read the small print?

Plato's Portable Cave

"How much time do you spend online?"

"I'm jacked in every day."

"Which of the four do you use [IT] for?"

"If you're talking about the primary four uses of technology, I can't quite recall what they are. However, I will walk this wire without the Net. Imperfect, but here goes:

Staying Focused

(And what we expose ourselves to)

Off the cuff. For a reason. If you read. Read the titles.

It's messy. 

(Pick one)

As you can painfully tell, a photographer didn't take this picture.

The one what was picked. 

Japan's use of a German lens.... history.

Joker's Alley?

(Not really... but I thought of him)

Two photographers... amateur

(Cute.... when they are little)

From abroad...

(What 'they' saw... on the road)

If this were a deck of cards in a poker game, I wonder how they would be read. The last card is no good. I think I would have to read this hand as an ace, a two, and a three (if the joker was wild). Really, though, gambling is not my thing.

All of the photos were taken a short while ago, from a magazine at a photo shop. All I can say is that it is a small world. 

The photos were taken for a reason that can be added later, during an edit. Or it can be left as is. Raw.

Thank you for your time. 

 

Start to finish with a distraction in-between.

An Old School Bad Boy

Ed, was difficult as a youngster. A troublemaker, some might say. Apparently, he was "expelled from every school he attended in his youth" for stuff like carving on his desk.

So, when he found his way to Japan, not really looking for trouble, he still managed to somehow... well... he still might be able to tell you better than I can even though he's dead:

Flow State

Neuroethics: Noninvasive Brain Stimulation

No, this is not a book review.

(Breathing slowly)

'Noninvasive' as opposed to what? Images come to mind, images anyone who has watched television or seen any movies can recall without having to put too much strain on their imagination.

For anyone who doesn't happen to 'get' the humor in the 

featured photo, be forewarned. Click [?]or leave it.

Naked Islands: Banned in Japan

And Dead at 100

Knowing what the islands look like in color and from a distance maybe changes everything.  

The sweat, the slope, the weight… knowing what it feels like maybe changes everything. 

Having heard the actual screams and cries of a woman in her tantrums thrown over lesser challenges… knowing that makes me understand (or at leas imagine that I do)… understand how he hears, sees, and keeps moving.  

Just lets it go.

Sometimes there’s something to the stoicism that I do appreciate. 

Something like wisdom or ....

Something that serves to energize and motivate.

And how nothing is said.
