Not exactly the kind of thing one expects to read about - Tokyo is far from the world's most beautiful city. The sepia photos here are the result of a pretty heavy snowfall in January 1998, which made me get up early, wrap up warm, and take a camera outside. Once outside, the weather was so beautful that I bought another disposable camera pre-loaded with sepia film, which would provide a "period" instant nostalgia look for the record. Here are a few of these pictures, which I transferred to PhotoCD and converted to JPEG. I have invested in a digital camera, and it's small enough to be carried around wherever I go. Although the pictures are not quite up to a 35mm SLR, it's a lot easier to get them onto the Web, keep coming back to this site, and you'll see it develop as time and space allows. Click on any of these for a larger version. I am not particularly proud of my skill as a photographer, but I thought it was a good idea to let people know that Tokyo is not simply an enormous gray metropolis (though it does seem like that a lot of the time). Of course, in Tokyo, the people are as interesting as the scenery.
