Subway (Chikatetsu,地下鉄)

Currently there’s only one subway line in Sendai, the Nanboku Line, which runs north to south. Although it was the world’s first public train to use fuzzy logic to control its speed, this probably doesn’t account for the fact that it is one of the most expensive subways to ride; much more expensive than the Tokyo Metro subway system.

Street (Touri,通り)

One of the first photos I ever took with my Nikon D40. It was just a random test shot, pointed down at the ground for no particular reason, yet it’s one of my favourites.

Having a puff at the park.

Slide (Suberikomu,滑り込む)

The Saitama Seibu Lions come to Sendai to face the hometown Rakuten Eagles. Note that there’s only dirt around the bases; the basepaths, infield and outfield are all artificial turf. Give me dirt and grass any day over this crap.

Over The Shoulder

Don’t really remember when I took this photo, or even why. I didn’t know this person, but I suppose alcohol played some part in me walking up behind her like a perv and snapping this picture.

Field Trip (Kengakuryokō,見学旅行)

Organized Chaos.

Schoolgirls (Jogakusei,女学生)

When in doubt, just take photos of Japanese schoolgirls.

Their socks don’t match.

Cherry Blossoms (Sakura,さくら)

Cherry blossoms in late full bloom on the banks of the Shiroishi River near Funaoka.

Sad Leaf

Or perhaps it’s suffered a stroke recently.

Roses (Bara,バラ)

This photo always makes me think of winter, although it was taken in the swelteringly humid Japanese summer.
