You said that you usually stock such things in the cellar, and I said our cellar is full. Meaning - we would put them in the cellar usually too, but its full.

How about some more pictures?

I suspect a strong mtoive for building shiny skyscrapers is to make sure the reflections hide its own ugliness.

I think manhatten has great looking skyscrapers but the people are so cold hearted.

Tokyo has the ugliest buildings. But they are sooo darn nice to use yank tourists.


I can remember one cab driver talking about how great macarthur was. He went on and on...like he was the father of there country or somthing. hehe. Its so nice there. If you drop 100 yen, I can remember my dad dropped 200 yen on the ground. One guy picked it up and started chasing my dad and screaming stuff in japenese. He caught to us breathing all heavy and gave it back.


i wonder what possessed me to tell you this.

Nice pictures. Which digital camera do you use? The colors look very realistic, but am I spotting some slight barrel distortion?

Without loading them into a photo editor and laying a straight line along the building edges I think I may be seeing some barrel distortion myself now that you mentioned it. Zoom lenses are usualy going to have at least some distortion in part of their range. Especially in wide angles where its hard to avoid it even with fixed lenses.

Barrel distortion? Use layman's words please.
