Where does the time go?


It's been 12 years since I left Tajima (now Minamiaizu-Tajima), Fukushima. Back in 2002, I didn't have a very good camera (I used click and wind disposables back in the day before digital) so I didn't have a lot of great pictures of my time there. I am very lucky to be Facebook friends with the most recent Tajima ALT and he has a very good DSLR camera and I liberally steal his pics when I see ones like these. 

Tajima JHS where I worked from 2000-2002


I participated in the Gion festival in 2002. I remember trying to kneel in this room with a borrowed men's kimono and recently purchased yukata underneath. It was about 100 degrees. I thought I was going to die.


This is the view I had out my backroom window for two years. Not bad, eh?
