Life in Japan - Pictures galore !! Arcades, Temples, Rainy days, etc

I used to do that but I do RAW only now. Yes, the files are big, but once you get used to the ease and non-destructive nature of them, I'm sure you'll find it advantagous. I guess the downside is that you technically need two programs, but once you get into your workflow it's probably not going to bother you.

And yes, I post a lot during work hours, but if I don't step away for a few minutes every hour I will lose my fucking marbles. It's all good though - I get my shit done, and then some.

 

I think for a westerner it's very easy to get our shit done in a Japanese company. We seem to be able to prioritise far better and get things done without too much farting about. I'm looking to finish my work by 3 then do a bit of work on my site followed by another God awful meeting. The good thing this meeting is that a few foreign friends from a parent company will join. That should speed things up a bit, fingers crossed.

 

With the exception of the train, these are all from Ginza -- a place I never go.

That clock image is very cool. For a moment I thought it was a row of stop watches before realizing it was up the side of a building :nod:

Not sure if this is the right place or not but couldn't think of a better place to put it.

My Son is making some o-mochi together with Sekimoto Daisuke

 

Who is Sekimoto Daisuke? A football player ? I really don't know. Your son seems to be having fun though.

Yakumo

EDIT: Never mind. Just noticed his face is on the truck in the background. So he's a wrestler.

 

I didn't even know you had a kid!

 

Oh, I am sure I introduced and mentioned him few times before in here (like what games he likes to play etc.)
Here an other pic of him, playing his favorit game Kirby - yume no izumi no monogatari:

 

It's crazy how many people I know that know him. I suppose your Son is not permitted near Jun Kasai or Jaki Numazawa?

And a friend of a friend of a friend

 

Is it? They all look the same to me.

Most japanese think I look like Fredrik Ljungberg so it's the other way around too, I guess...

 

He's farily unique looking as he doesn't really look Japanese
as best seen here

 

I'd say he looks Japanese, but what do I know. What's o-mochi?

 

In some pictures he's a White guy in others he's hispanic

Mochi I think is a bean thing

 

No, it's a traditional rice cake that is usually eaten on Oshougatsu (Jan 1st).

Great as always. The old guy having a smoke is perfect!

 

Really fantastic, GP.

 

Photos in this thread are always top notch
Gaijinpunch i was wondering if your job had anything to do with photography as your photos are all top notch.

 

A few nore from me taken earlier this year. Still learning Lightbox though.
