i took this picture last january at the tokyo national museum (東京国立博物館) special new year's exibition, not from a woodblock print but from an original painting by hokusai. what i then thought it was an original perspective and depth of field has become an image of a more sombre significance, a reminder of the ancient and indomitable force of nature. glued to bbc reporting since last friday, every survivor's account of their unfathomable wait for news of their missing loved ones is deepening the heartbreak. perhaps captain scott's last written words might also become a fitting tribute to all of those who are gone for good:
"had we lived, i should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance, and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every englishman. these rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale, but surely, surely, a great rich country like ours will see that those who are dependent on us are properly provided for"
It does rain in Southern California.

A giant recreation of Hokusai's famous Great Wave off Kanagawa (1829-32) on the side of building in an alley along O Street Northwest. The artist appears to be J. McConnell, but I have yet to find any further info on this.

Hokusai's ukiyo-e painting 神奈川沖浪裏 (The Great Wave off Kanagawa) (probably the most famous ukiyo-e picture outside of Japan - I don't know which is most famous in Japan) converted to a vector then reconverted to a raster image.

My wife and I had the opportunity to meet Arthur Gugick and see his works in person. Not only is he a wonderful builder, he is also a wonderful person.
Not only does my wife put up with my LEGO obsession, she also has accompanied me to a 4 day LEGO festival!
I added two new shapes to my camera program today. The first (this one) consists of two perpendicular squares set vertically. Makes for an interesting grid-like appearance.
The original image is Hokusai's Great Wave off Kanagawa.

A beautiful building, the Honolulu Academy sadly does not allow photography inside...
I don't know enough about Hawaiian traditional architecture to say whether this represents that or not, but it certainly represents some kind of traditional, artistic, creative style, and not a concrete cube, and that I appreciate very much. All the better that it's some form of Asia-Pacific style, and not Western, neo-Classical, as we've already seen in countless museums already.
Thank heavens NatEx East Coast was refused permission to install ticket barriers at York station. En route from Scarborough to Kings Cross, I had a 20-minute layover - enough time to phot Yorkshire Coastliner's latest, a Wright Gemini-bodied Volvo B9TL. Note the extra filler cap for AdBlue. This is one current livery I actually like, Transdev being one of the Good Guys for not imposing corporate monotony the length and breadth of Britain (q.v. First York bus behind). Hokusai's Great Wave off Kanagawa appears to be the inspiration of the Yorkshire Coastliner livery - unless they get waves like that in Scarborough too.

The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, by Hokusai, easily one of the most famous works of Japanese art known around the world. Made here out of pure sugar. Yum.
