    This is a new series that I’ve been thinking about starting, in which every month I’ll do a post with my 10 favorite things that were probably covered on the site (but not necessarily). It’s a way for me to keep track of the things I really like, and to bring attention to some things…

    I’m told that the profile TRAVEL+LEISURE did on me is in the current issue (September 2007), although I haven’t seen it yet. I look forward to seeing how the photo, shot by Takashi Yasumura, turned out.

    My friend Denis Goguen loves his 8mm cameras, and he keeps buying new ones. He recently built a small timer that would let him shoot with a time delay, and so the other night we walked around Ikebukuro and did some shooting. I’ve posted a few more photos after the jump, and you can see…

    You all know how much I love hanging out at Minami-Ikebukuro park, and here’s another shot, taken at night, from the perspective of where I always sit. What you see way beyond is Ikebukuro station, which is just 1-2 minutes away. I always grab beers from the convenience store before going, and tonight I was…

I’ve put up…
