I think this bird is belongs to the falcon family. I also think they call it a "tobi" in Japan, but English speakers know it as "kite."

I suppose I am trying to build a case for my impression of the iphone 4 camera. The best gun is the one that's loaded; the best camera is the one that is with you, right? As much as I love my Mark II and my Bessa, I am taking neither on a jog...

私を変人に思わないで下さい。真夜中に道で止まらせて、バシバシと写真を撮った私がただの写真家です。すてきな着物の姿を見て、その瞬間をとりたかっただけです。そう言えば、やっぱりちょっと変かもね。

This girl was kind enough to let me take her photo by the light of the ubiquitous jidouhanbaiki. She must have thought me an utter weirdo, but played along. If you are looking at this, thank you and sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable.

The first ukai of the summer on the river Oi in Arashiyama, Kyoto. Ukai, or "cormorant fishing," is a millennium-old fishing technique in which cormorant birds are leashed at the throat, so that they do not swallow large fish, and are made to bob for river fish.
