D'oh!

twenty-eight years and a million words

Tokyo, 2008.01.24

Oh, the things you see without a camera. This morning as I left the apartment, I thought, "I should go back for my camera". But I didn't go back. Along the way, I saw some things that I wanted to photograph, but: no camera. Then at the end of the day one of my coworkers opened up the blinds on the west side of the building.

And there was Fuji-san, backlit by the setting sun, wreathed in blowing snow and starkly outlined against an orange vista.

All I had was my keitai. While better than nothing, it's not much better than nothing.

With apologies.

I consoled myself with some fantastic biscuits that my darling wife made for me. Mmmm, I ate them all.

rand()m quote

I'd see the publicity guy come on the set and I'd go hide in the rafters. The crew would be like, ‘I haven't seen him.' And then they'd leave and I'd go back to work. Because that's what's fun: the doing, not the talking.
