I got my first digital camera as a gift shortly before leaving to live in Japan for a year as an exchange student. For some horrible reason, I didn't have a reliable way to back up the pictures I took, so I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I wanted to in the interest of saving memory card space.

In retrospect, that might not have been so bad, because now I take an average of 40+ pictures per day (and there are plenty of days where I don't take any pictures). I guess I like to think of it as a photo-diary of my life, mostly because I have a really terrible memory. Pictures or it didn't happen!

I organize everything in my life chronologically. I kinda hate that Flickr won't let me hide my photostream... this is how I want people to see my pictures: www.flickr.com/photos/kurtasbestos/sets/

When I fall behind with my Flickr account (which is most of the time), you can get a vague glimpse into my life at: kurtasbestos.blogspot.com

日本に留学する前に始めてデジカメもらった。一年間は写真いっぱい撮ったけど、なんとなくバックアップよくできなくてメモリカードにスペースあまりなくて撮りたいように撮れなかった。ガーーン。

残念だったけど今頃は写真撮りすぎ。毎日一般４０枚ぐらい撮る。全然撮らない日もあるし。記憶力よくなくて自分の写真日記見たいに撮ってる。写真撮らないと覚えられない！

フォトストリーム見せないように設定できないけど、全部の写真は年代順に配置されているからこちらから見てください→　www.flickr.com/photos/kurtasbestos/sets/　それでアップするのはめんどうくさくてよくいつも遅くなるから最近のことはこちらで見れる→　kurtasbestos.blogspot.com。ミクシィにもよろしく。
