Alice in Wonderland 3D was a very pretty movie. However the storyline was shallow and uninteresting. I give it maybe 6 out of 10. 11 hours 49 minutes ago

It seems that every tourist who visits Tokyo must make a photo of the iconic Tokyo Tower. This is mine.

The tower is, of course, based on similar architecture as the Eiffle Tower in France but larger. It was built in 1958 and today is used mostly for communications and tourism.

Small for an aircraft but large in the water, the Manta ray appears to turns as slowly as a cargo aircraft preparing for landing. This one was nearly 15 feet across. Still, in this tank, he has larger cousins — such as the whale shark — to contend with.

As seen in the Ocean Voyager section of the Georgia Aquarium.

Red heads are firey. Blondes have more fun. People with black hair are deep. Brunettes are grounded. All of these traits and more can be had in one place.

Cherita from Flick Hair Studio scans through their vast collection of hair colors; itself a very colorful area.

So, I was out shooting the other day and a neighbor stopped me. I’m glad he did because it’s nice to know that folks are on the lookout around here. I let him know everything was on the up and up. But later I thought, “I wish I had a card or something so he could see my work and maybe I’d get to know my neighbor a little better.”

I decided to fix that by going to moo.com and printing out a card. What do you think?

The scupture reminded me of the kind of toy you see on someone’s desk but greatly enlarged. The giant chrome tubes, moving in concert, gave the sense of a school of fish suddenly performing an evasive manuver. Yet, in truth the whole of it was always rotating at a constant pace.

Caputred at the Hakone Open Air Museum in Hakone, Japan.

Crazy American Tourists with Rafukun

Crazy American Tourists with Rafukun

Originally uploaded by Bob Owen

Everything in Japan seems to have a mascot. Narita Airport had one that looked like an airplane. Tokoyo Tower had one that was a little disturbing.

This one is Rafukun, the little blue dog mascot for Fuji TV. He’s framed here by two crazy American tourists who were in Japan on their on thier honeymoon.

You can recognize crazy American tourists by the fact that they flash the “V” sign in every picture thier in.

Rafukun was posing outside the world headquarters for Fuji TV which is on the island of Odiaba in Tokyo Bay. Odiaba is the largest man made island in Tokyo Bay and it an amazing planned community that’s seen a few booms and busts. Now it’s mostly a live/work playground for the population of Tokyo. While there we also saw Venus Fort, the Sega Joypolis, and had what I think was the best sushi on the trip.

Individually the sculptures are facinating. Together, they create a dizzing and amazing texture with real sense of movement.
