_A010620-Cluttered house series

I've finally moved to Japan and have ended my nearly three month "cameraless photography" experiment, and am reunited with the cameras I had left in Japan this summer. I'm not sure yet how that experiment will affect what I produce going forward. Significantly, near the very end of my hiatus I experienced a medical event that has affected my vision. The doctors said it's a common, age-related condition (posterior vitreous detachment) but it was nonetheless scary, and underscored for me how precious a thing it is to be able to see at all, let alone to be able to take and make pictures. Because of that, and the long break, I seem to be noticing beauty in very ordinary things. On that note, I return to Flickr with a series of objects from my home, cluttered as most Japanese homes are with generations of memorobilia with no apparent organization. It used to irritate me, but now I'm seeing something in it....
