life in the 2nd millenium, first month of the 8th year of the reign of george walker bush Omoide

When one reaches a certain age, one becomes particularly sensitive to

certain images, sounds, tastes and smells, Without warning you find

yourself cast adrift from this secure berth in the present and

sailing the gentle seas of your memories, tasting once again the salt

spray of an earlier time.

jack...no real critique from me...i just like everything about this shot. thanks for sharing it. aloha, stan

Very nice. Sort of reminds me of "A Walk in Pardaise Garden," by Eugene Smith, only with a Japanese flavor and a damn Scotsman overseeing the production.

Jack, I'm always amazed by your composition. Simple and yet unique. Using poster that leads our eye to the subject and the other brings my eye back to your starting point by looking at the photographer himself.Your eye can create miracle to phenomenon full of surprises.

Jack. you are, indeed, blessed to see such beauty, capture and enjoy. We are also sharing this joy with you. Arigato!

Me - in Japan?

Hahahah, Daily. it really looks like you !!! in the window, photographing Jack, while Jack is photographing his memories!

 

Jack, to show you that daily is right here he is! I hope he will not " kill" me, I met him at Vienna,( really nice fellow....) and I could not resisit.... LoL

My God! I have become Daily! I was wondering why I had developed such a taste for beer lately.

No small cigars?

;-))....

Your words are just as poetic as your images. A heart warming ad intriguingly captured with your reflection on the left adding a retrospective touch.

Ah, Daily recognise himself in you, Jack :-) This image is so brilliantly composed & subtle in its simplicity beauty. It really holds one's eyes & attention the longer one looks at it.

Is it your self-portrait? ;) Thanks for your comments on my photos.

Ok, so this is a poster encouraging children to walk in the middle of the highway--got a problem with that?

Very good. Congrats!

Well, Dave (H) that's one form of population control. Messy, but effective.

Good picture composition trumps safety consdierations every time. Just look how many photographers risk life and limb hanging onto the steering wheel with one hand while trying to photograph a semi going in the opposite direction (I know I have).
