Treasure hunt

I went down to Sea to Summit's"Ultimate Garage Sale" this morning.

It started at 8:00 in the morning, but by the time I got there around 8:20, it was already packed with people (I was struggling to find a car park). There was a lot of goodies and they were going very fast. I saw many people walking with a big cardboard box full of interesting stuff.

At the end, I got 4 pairs of socks from Smart Wool (only $5 each), Smart Wool's merino top and bottom ($40 together) which I will take to Tasmania next month. I also picked up two dry bags ($2 for 8L bag and $5 for 35L bag which I can put all my clothes for a week long fishing trip. While I was waiting in a line to pay for what I scored, I was even given a free stainless drink bottle. What a nice morning I had. Thank you people of Sea to Summit.

One year since the disaster

It's been one year since the 2011 Tohoku earthquake.

May be the peace come to the heart of people who are still being affected by the disaster.

I hope that one day, children of Fukushima will look up to the sky with smile without fear of radiation.

People should be able to eat what the nature gives us. People should be able to enjoy what the ocean offers to us. The nuclear power is not a clean energy.

LENSBABY

I had a chance to play with LENSBABY today.

It was interesting to use, and I kind of liked some images it produced. For the lens not being expensive, I might buy one for myself.

LENSBABYというティルト・レンズをためしてみました。

ティルトさせると流れる様にボケるのですが、いったい何をどうしたいのかが自分でも分かりません。それでも、レンズは安いし、上手く使いこなせれば面白いのが撮れそうなので、お金が貯まったら買おうかと思います。
