Oh and Yonasu if you ever get it, just taste it on the rock which is how I prefer it.
And something I found quite nice is that you can taste the Yamazaki 30 years for free in Narita, I've never seen this before (for any alcohol, especially not the 30yo)

Yamasaki Whiskey seems to be the one being widely recognized as being the best one.
It's also my favorite so far, as I have been drinking lots of it in Japan, so number one or not I highly recommend it.

From what you don't see in the picture, he was sitting on a pile of cardboard and junk like you see most homeless persons in Japan do.

Don't know if you've seen it but I added it to the wallpaper page already!

This section is right after Omete-sando (on my left) while going toward Shibuya on the right.

ah! At first I didn't even notice the pseudo tilt-shift effect... You're the second one pointing it out (the other was on twitter or FB I think).

No idea, there isn't much info about it on their website either...

I can't recall exactly where I took that picture but I think you're right, it was near the end of it. But the thing is this slope is rather long and it's not a constant incline, some parts have only a slight decline and some other parts are literally stairs...

Re: Gion at night, Kyoto (Japan)

Alex Gervais — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 16:59:42 -0000

Yeah I saw your 'Parying wheel' picture which is extremely similar, not only that but we posted them within days of each other... What camera and gear are you using ?
And yes I visited Kyoto twice already, once in 2007 and a second time this last september, both time for a week.

Alex Gervais — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 21:56:52 -0000

It's the same theme, but like you said heavily modified. I mostly started from this one for the landing-page type homepage, the top menu and that I could display my content this wide.

Sorry I don't remember at all what kind of fish was on this one, I think I had like 12 different kind that day....

Re: Kinkaku-ji, Kyoto (Japan)

My favorite would be 3, 1, 2. And were you on a moving train while taking those shots?

Re: Kaiten-zushi, Kyoto (Japan)

Alex Gervais — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 22:22:55 -0000

I was thinking the same thing at first but it's not that bad, for one thing the belt goes pretty fast and the supply is steady and more than enough; and in worse case you can always order what you want to a waiter.

Re: Shirasu in salad, Kyoto (Japan)

Alex Gervais — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 20:03:02 -0000

Yes those one were crunchy but the soft version is also very good, it's hard to say which one I prefer, both I really good!

Re: Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo (Japan)

Alex Gervais — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 21:15:29 -0000

Thanks, and I also think it's the best one, that's why I kept it for last... unless I go back there to shoot more that is.

Re: It's raining in Toshogu shrine, Nikko (Japan)

Alex Gervais — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 22:52:27 -0000

Yes, that's exactly what it is, it's call "Ema"

Re: Alley going to Toshugu shrine, Nikko (Japan)

Alex Gervais — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 23:50:20 -0000

I don't publish the picture the day I take them, this was back in September but yeah is was rainy for the whole time I was in Nikko... Kinda make taking picture difficult (holding an umbrella at the same time...) but it does give a nice touch to the picture.
