Visiting Japan after 10+ years was fun! When we arrived, our friends brought us to an Izakaya in Yushima, Tokyo. They had cute lockers for the shoes.

 

I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW exposure, merged them, and carefully adjusted the color balance and pulled the curves.

That's right.. place yir samoleans on the table,folx..smash 'em up with a mallet n' let 'em all flatten out to make the 10 million dollar griddle-cake bets !! Get Don King's psychiatrist on the phone..Mike Tyson,Glass Joe,Bald Bull,King Hippo,Kalimari Kid,Dreaderick Tatum,Fat Tony,Bluto,Gashouse Gorilla, & a George Foreman-grill Ham n' Cheese Sammich Melt..ain' none of them liable to top the mania in this fight. Ain' none of 'ems head gonna spin or block's gonna get knocked off more batty n' bloody than the ear-bitin' big-battle for the very,very small brain !!

 

They Gonna Put you in the Trance wit' the hoochie-coochie dance !!

 

In this corner .. hailin' from the bottomest fathoms of a schizo's delusions,Yomi..and past the furthest corners of hell n' tarnation where Satan himself put's all the politicians,molesters & televangelists ..at an indecernable weight ..the maniacal

oni who looks like demon pepperoni.. the one & only ..:

 

THE MADDNEZZ

 

In this corner .. the abandoned invader ..claiming in from Cud Know's where in the Zeta Sector of outer space..the underdawg ..thr Kmart Kid,the gutsy lil' guy with a heart of mold,the Egg head who's cracked,the schizo-alien who'd rather go home than be here (that's if he had a home..),Punched in the 20 too-many times,slammed in the gut n' run over by a tractor and a whale creatin' one of the longest run-on-sentences n' introductions in all of bipolar-boxing history ..he's not a man..he's alien (..really a mouse) ..weighin' in at a scrappy-doo 135 pounds..he's number 2 so he tries harder.. :

 

The SPAZE CAZE ..

 

Til' now the Maddnezz has had the upper hand.. err.. 'Utter' .. busked right in the mush,slomped,stomped,tromped,bopped,popped,hit,bit bloody n' bruised..Spaze got more head trauma in this fight alone ..than a veteran game of Whack-a-mole. He's fighter..yeh.. just a dime;ten cents he'd do the Hoochie-coochie dance ..but it was the bum old prance so they kept the money in their pants (among other things..hot dog!!.. Armour hot dog..)!!

 

OO ..i tells ya..by round 4 the Spaze Caze was down for the count !! The Maddnezz had 'im in a head lock and a dead-lock and a Choo-Choo Carlie Chang Chang.. looked like th' musky lil' martian was headin' to the big Chuck E. Cheese & a psych-ward in

the sky.

 

Maddnezz is one nasty palooka.. but the commish pretty much threw out all the rules of this out the window..(mostly cuz everyone was to scared to go back to the ring-side..)!!

 

In a clinch..in a bind.. Spaze Caze - the bleeder got the second-wind,popped a couple pep-pills,got all gazookas and pulled his top-secret illegal maneuver ..

 

"The Hyper-Hooplah-Hover-punch HOOK" ..

 

..nothin' to flashy..but enuff' to pop n' fly n' bop The Maddnezz with a flyin' big bomb-body blow..n' get the alien back in the fight !!

 

Hot Dog !! We have a Weiner !!

  

But's it's gonna take more n' fancy footwork and a couple few fancy jabs to survive round 5.. four down..n' a million billion-gazillion to go!!

 

They ain' showin' this on Pay-Per-View or headlinin' at the MGM Grand !! Nope..this Paper-view battle is only caught in the theaters of the mind..( And the hearts and minds of all those who are wonderful..). Can out tomato can tin-weight beat Maddnezz in the big battle ?! Will the devilish Oni take the brain-title away and all that's left of Spaze's heart and humanity and take the Alien down to the 8-count !? Will this ramblin' stop n' someone shove a big fat tomato or shut-up sucker punch in the promoter's mouthpiece?!

   

Ya gotta be a moron to wanna be in this fight.. fight like butterfly..hit like a girl !! Adrian, go down n' tell Minnie.."Mickey's Mouse is a MAN-boy..& just kinda squirrelly." Yeh .. the big battle rages on like the Song that doesn't end..(Yep ..it goes on and on,my friend..but don't get me stareted !!).

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sens%C5%8D-ji:

 

Sensō-ji (浅草寺, officially Kinryū-zan Sensō-ji (金龍山浅草寺), also known as Asakusa Kannon (浅草観音)), is an ancient Buddhist temple in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan. It is Tokyo's oldest-established temple, and one of its most significant. It is dedicated to Kannon, the bodhisattva of compassion. Structures in the temple complex include the main hall, a five-story pagoda and large gates. It is the most widely visited religious site in the world with over 30 million visitors annually.

 

The temple was destroyed during a 10 March 1945 firebombing air raid on Tokyo during World War II. The main hall was rebuilt in the 1950s. Formerly associated with the Tendai sect of Buddhism, the temple became independent after the war. Leading to it is Nakamise-dōri street, containing many shops with traditional goods. Adjacent to the east of Sensō-ji is the Asakusa Shrine of the Shinto religion.

 

The Kaminarimon (雷門, "Thunder Gate") is the outer of two large entrance gates that ultimately lead to the Sensō-ji (the inner being the Hōzōmon) in Asakusa. The gate, with its lantern and statues, is popular with tourists. It stands 11.7 metres (38 ft) tall, 11.4 metres (37 ft) wide and covers an area of 69.3 square metres (746 sq ft). The first gate was built in 941, but the current gate dates back to 1960, after the previous gate was destroyed in a fire in 1865.

 

Four statues are housed in the Kaminarimon, two in the front alcoves and two on the other side. On the front of the gate, the statues of the Shinto gods Fūjin and Raijin are displayed. Fūjin, the god of wind, is located on the east side of the gate, while Raijin, the god of thunder, is located on the west side. The original sculptures were severely damaged in the fire of 1865, with only the heads being saved, and the statues restored for the gate's 1960 reconstruction.

 

Two additional statues stand on the reverse of the gate: the Buddhist god Tenryū on the east, and the goddess Kinryū on the west side. These were donated in 1978 to commemorate the 1350th anniversary of the first appearance of the bodhisattva Kannon (Avalokiteśvara) at Asakusa, which led to the founding of Sensō-ji. The statues were carved by then-106-year-old master sculptor Hirakushi Denchū.

 

A giant red lantern (chōchin) hangs under the center of the gate. It is 3.9 metres (13 ft) tall, 3.3 metres (11 ft) wide and weighs approximately 700 kilograms (1,500 lb). The current lantern, the fifth iteration, was built by Takahashi Chōchin K.K in 2013 and has the same metallic base on the bottom as the previous lantern. The base has a name plate that says "Matsushita Denki", an abbreviated form of Panasonic's old Japanese name, Matsushita Denki Sangyo Kabushiki Gaisha.[16] The front of the lantern displays the gate's name, Kaminarimon (雷門). Painted on the back is the gate's official name, Fūraijinmon (風雷神門). During festivals such as Sanja Matsuri, the lantern is collapsed to let tall objects pass through the gate.

 

The characters 金龍山 (Kinryū-zan) on the tablet above the lantern read from right to left and reference the Sensō-ji.

It's been a while :-)

お久しぶりです。全然写真撮る気が起こらなかったです。で、それじゃいかんと久々にD750を手入れしたら、めちゃくちゃ重く感じて、軽いのに買い換えようとお店に行って、ミラーレスでも重く感じて、結局、軽さを求めてコンデジになった次第。

ボケ以外は満足です。

 

追記 フリッカーが変わるみたいで、、、どうしましょうw

自撮り棒って安いもんだと勝手に思っていたのですが、ヨドバシの街頭で3000円で売られていて、自分的には高いなーと。

余談ですが、昨日は3人にシャッターを頼まれました。

(下手だから)頼まれるの嫌いなのですが、不審者として見られてないんだなーと思って、その分感謝して、ありがたく押しています。
