Week 11

I found this great book the other day by Martin Parr. It's called Small World and has great shots of tourists doing touristy things in touristy countries.

For example, he has a shot of three or four people holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Japanese mega tour groups posing by the Parthenon and flamboyant shirt wearing fat guys stuffing their faces in Paris. Funny stuff.

Last week I enjoyed a visit to the Kudan Kaikan in Kudanshita with my friends at Outdoor Japan (www.outdoorjapan.com).It's one of the largest roof top beer gardens I've ever seen. In the background you can see the Budokan stadium. When I finished that night, back in Kichijoji I ran into this kid without a shirt on around midnight. I think I used up a whole roll of film on him. He was hamming it up for the camera, but I got a few good ones despite my condition. Maybe I'll post more as when I get the other roll which had about 10 more shots of him on it. His dad was there.
