I almost always carry a digital camera in my bag to take some pictures for this blog, but I found that I had taken few pictures for the past several days since I came back to Tokyo. One reason is that Tokyo is not such a photogenic place like Vancouver and most scenes out there are too familiar for me. The other reason is that I worry about being blamed or sued in the worst case scenario for taking someone's pictures without permission. As you might know, most cell phones in Japan have a built-in digital camera and all of them make a loud shutter sound when taking a picture so that no one can take a spy photo. It's rather hard to take a picture here notwithstanding we have a various selections of great cameras. It is similar to the case of cars in Japan; we have various great cars made in Japan, but we have few empty roads to drive them on. Anyway, I'm now lacking for latest photos for this blog and I'm thinking about using rather old pictures which I took and stocked in Vancouver for a while.
