Tokyo, JAPAN.
On 2nd Monday of Jan, we celebrate Coming of Age for those who become 20yrs old. Those youngsters usually cover themselves with traditional Japanese costume "kimono" and decorate themselves nice and pretty. Usually, there's get-together-event held in each local. They got to see their local peers. This is a big event especially for girls: how am I gonna decorate myself? What about my hair? make-up??
According to today's Japanese law, 20yr-old is considered "grown-up." Hum. What you get is right to vote, and doors open to alcohol and smoking.
vote, alcohol, smoking.
So we are grown-up.
In the past, it probably meant more than today. These days, this is just sort of fashion show for tons of 20yr-old, and the day finally they can officially get drunk.
However, it's still nice to see them in colorful kimono with shining hopes.

When I visited Crabtree Falls this weekend, it was still too early for most flowering trees to be in bloom at that elevation, but some wildflowers along the trail were making their appearance, including this attractive bloodroot. Thanks to Larry W Brown for identifying it!
Providence & Worcester NR-2 heads east back to Plainfield, CT with a very short train. It is passing the rear of the train it brought up from Plainfield, as it crosses the Willimantic River in Willimantic, CT
The engines are on the New England Central main track, as the train they brought with them is parked on the P&W main. They will cross over to their own track about a mile south.

Indiana National Guard Capt. Marc Blue, Wonder Lake, Ill., 4-19th Agribusiness Development Team, reunites with his family after a yearlong deployment to Afghanistan, Sunday, June 10, 2012, at Indiana Joint Force Headquarters, Indianapolis. The unit was responsible for revolutionizing Afghan farming techniques in Khost Province to help better stabilize the area in preparation for U.S. Forces leaving the country. Blue was one of the final 12 troops of the original 58 members of the 4-19th ADT to return home. U.S. Army photo by Sgt. John Crosby
Same setup as last time except that I liked the first image smile but not the hand so I had to do some more photoshop magic.
Why not forget about doing solo shows and give each artist a department ?
They can refresh out of date stock and keep things FRESH... You wouldn't expect to go to Selfridges and just find Fridges for sale and nothing else, that would be absurd. Mix it UP ! Keep it FRESH !!!
For The Love of Light
A tribute to the art of Polaroid
This is a plug for a forthcoming book i'm contributing to, called "For The Love of Light". It's an epitaph of sorts to the magic of polaroid and features 25 photographers - from North and South America, Europe, Australia, Asia - each with their own take on the medium.
The very talented Jen Altman is the editor and instigator (look at her stream if you haven't already!)
We're taking pre-orders soon via the site - http://www.fortheloveoflight.com/, where you can also sign up for updates on the progress of the project.
The plan at the moment is to produce a limited edition run of numbered copies, with further runs if it proves successful. Our intention is also to get a publisher to pick this up for more mainstream distribution.
Feel free to spread the word about this - we need the publicity. WIsh us luck!
These photos were taken at New River Junctions, a poplular tubing and picnic location on the New River in McCoy,Virginia
Bello is perfectly fine with coming to me if he is on leash and on our property. But the second he is offleash or if off our property he doesn't listen. Took him and Britt to Taco Bell three people came to the window and told me how pretty he was. I was like Thanks, now where's my taco? xD Yesterday when we went running (and it felt AMAZING) a lady stopped me and asked me where I got him. I said the shelter and she asked which one like there were two and she could go get one? Her husband liked Britt better (he said so), which surprises me and I have noticed that men seem to like Britt better. I wonder if it is because Bello is just to "cutsey"? But I think Britt qualifies as cutsey too seeing as she weighs 15 pounds (well 16, but we are attempting to slim down).
Ohh and he definitley has husky in him. What ever other breeds he has are a mystery. It bugs me not knowing. D8
