I love it when my hobby meets fandom.

Guess who I found on page 38 of my Travel Photography book by Insight Guides?







Not one, but two Arashi ads!

I received the book as a parting gift from a colleague who knew I loved photography but not about my Arashi obsession, so you can imagine my pleasant surprise when I found them in a photography book. And it's a pretty good read! I'll make another photo post once I find a suitable theme for my photos.

waaa is that fate? destiny? haha.. that's so nice and even if it was not really intended you somehow feel proud of them for being there.. XD

How funny! I guess it speaks to the ubiquity of Arashi ads~

Looking forward to the photo post! What subjects are you thinking about?

[barbosa2007.livejournal.com]

JE ads are everywhere. I once stood in front of Shibuya station and I could count at least 6 humongous JE ads in sight. Guess that's where the money the boys earned are going towards.

I haven't thought up of a theme yet, I'll need to look through my collection and see if I can thread something cohesive together.

You should try to take photos of your neighborhood in "Travel Photography" style. Sometimes having a new frame of reference can be enlightening!

[barbosa2007.livejournal.com]

I did do that, once or twice. But I'm rarely in the mood and I'm not good enough to make photos happen when I'm not feeling particularly inspired.

I'll take your advice and compile a collection of my neighborhood shots. There are some of them, although not a lot.

My electronic viewfinder is spoilt and it's such a pain to meter with a LCD screen. :-(

[nekobot01.livejournal.com]

Ah~ that's harder then. I feel the same with writing fiction. If I'm not inspired, it's a real drag and ends up mediocre.

Do you find you have less desire to do artistic work after a day with spreadsheets? Sometimes the last thing I want to do after a long day is "express myself." You know?

[barbosa2007.livejournal.com]

Yes! I was trying to translate something for the past few days and ended up with a lousy piece for Endless Game. I'm experiencing Japanese fatigue at work. Particularly when some spreadsheets require me to analyze sales figures in Japanese. *__*

I think I'll take things one step at a time. Step 1: get my viewfinder fixed. Hopefully it won't cost too much money.

I was learning some new vocab words (N2! I'm starting early for 2014) and I like the simplicity of the terms in Japanese:

売り上げ vs 売れ行き

But I'm sure you're tired of them. ;P

Hmm, my boss taught me a new proverb today:

足を向けて寝られない

Since I stayed back at work to help complete his stuff, he wants to show his appreciation. *giggles*

I love this kind of thing

While I watched a documentary about plitical grass root movements in Tokyo Shibuya crossing was shown as well~ with Arashi-billboard XD the themes kind of clashed but still, I was in a different mood for a asecond

[i-am-zan.livejournal.com]

That is pretty cool.

I get a kind of pleasure too when I see ads of them or just pics of them in surprising places ...

I still loved it when Jun were on our SBS 143 buses. I remember girl made us go on a random bus trip for a bit just so she could get on the 'Jun Bus'.

I love photo posts. I will look forward to any that you might share.
