Mori Tower 24mm vs. 300mm
Same location, same camera, same subject (Mori Tower in Roppongi, where my office is located) but different lens : 24mm vs. 300mm. Now, the 300mm is not the lens I use most since it’s rather bulky and heavy, but when I have the time, I love using it as a walkaround lens, just to re-discover ...

Le Lion d’Or

Bayeux Medieval Festival

The reenactment groups from France and all Europe set up their camps and recreate the daily life of the Vikings, Saxons and Normans. Historical dresses, traditional food of the Middle Ages, music performances, crafts, ...

Photo Class
Some Japanese students practising photography in a park. I guess one has to use film once to know how painful it is.

It was consecrated on 14 July 1077 in the presence of William (Guillaume), Duke of Normandy and King of England himself. It was here that William forced Harold Godwinson to take the oath, ...

Stray Cat
Perhaps the only decent looking stray cat of the neighbourhood. Most of them have ears or tail missing due to frequent fights. Countryside cats are a lot classier !

Finnish Cottage
Our “Finnish Cottage” for a weekend in Karuizawa. I’m not exactly sure what part of the cottage was Finnish, apart from the outdoor sauna which had a Finnish sticker on it. Unfortunately, it was so windy and it was raining so much that we did not have a chance to use it.
