Not blogging for sometime?


E. tells me I have not been blogging for some time. The reality is that I have been blogging fiercely in French here, not English, except a little on a blog about Awamori. What seemed impossible at a time, writing in ones own language, has a turned a de facto, and a mere copy translating pasting is not enticing enough to feed the English beast. This one entry is from the original French though, adapted that is. This picture may look old but was taken just last month. I see the sepia trick as an elegant formula to counter the almost disagreeable never altering quality of digital picture. The picture was taken in the sushi-bar Tochigiya on top of the Ochanomizu hill. The sushi-bar itself is 40 years old according to the chef who enjoyed modeling on the picture. Sepia smoothen the harshness of digital picture.
