Summer in Sasebo

Haggis — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:16:12 +0000

Summer 2008 this is… not this year. This is how far behind I am in processing my photos!
I love Sasebo, a great small town in Nagasaki Prefecture, hopefully I will be back there in April.

Drunk, but still alive

Haggis — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 08:34:32 +0000

Its been a while since I last posted, mainly due to the crap internet connection on the ship but also due to being a lazy bastard when it comes to Photoshoping my photo’s.

A life of hard Scrabble

The guy in the pick up was not very happy with me….

The Internet just now (in port) is no better, I’m starting to have withdrawal symptoms!

Well I’m back at work and the Internet connection is worse than ever, at least I have it but only a fraction of an image loads on your sites before timing out. This post has taken me over a day to try and get it uploaded. We’ll be in port in a few day’s and things should speed up then. I’ll try and catch up with y’all then.

To be honest the Polaroid snaps are driving me nuts, I was about to delete them until I noticed David had commented on them so that was that plan thwarted!

So, for the second post today, a decent image…….

Happy Birthday…..

Haggis — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 03:43:48 +0000

I haven’t posted in a while as the Internet connection has been so bad but here’s a double whammy as its my birthday today.

I share my birthday with at least two great people though…. Angie Harris and Mick Jagger. Best wishes all..

Fish sellers

Dried and fresh….

Sorry for not keeping up with you all (y’all) but the Internet connection here is extremely poor. It has taken me 3 day’s to successfully upload these two images.

I apologize to those of you who read my review of this camera on Japan Exposures as you will probably have seen this image before but this is for our Colonial American friends, have a good weekend y’all and don’t party too much.

It’s a bank holiday weekend here, long, slow boring weekend. I’m going to spend the weekend in the darkroom loading 5222 and 5231 movie film into 35mm cassette’s, that is once I’ve got the blackout sheeting hung up.

Tokyo station

Haggis — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 04:42:15 +0000

Basement level 4 of Tokyo Station! I think there is 6 levels of track’s in this station. An amazing place but not as confusing or as busy as Shinjuku station.

Your going the wrong way…….

Haggis — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 08:22:54 +0000

My popularity sometimes amazes me, here in Japan the TV crews turned out in force to see me off….. (more like to make sure I was gone).
