Comments on: A Couple of “Cozy” Houses in the Neighborhood http://regex.info/blog/2009-11-15/1360 Not a photo blog. A personal blog with photos.

I wonder where the doctor had been photographing ? <span class='jfriedl'>Believe me, I asked... it was gorgeous. One of his photos was from the same general location as <a href='http://www.panoramio.com/photo/10560071' rel="nofollow">this geoencoded snapshot</a> by someone else, on Panoramio. It's in Makino, toward the northern tip of Biwako. It's about an hour and a half away by car. —Jeffrey</span> I hope you enjoy the book as much as I do !

I think they are keeping it for a next model whenever they feel it makes economical sense to them, just so they have something new to deliver. <span class='jfriedl'>Well, it'll work... If some mythical "D700j" came out identical to my D700 but had the fixed auto-ISO mode, I'd buy it. —Jeffrey</span> On the matter of Auto-ISO, I feel you.

But then again the wood might just be hiding a slab of concrete. Perhaps those little balconies were used for growing veg or herbs in times of greater hunger?

Morse. Originally published in 1886, it was reprinted in 1961 and 2000 by Dover Publications, Inc., New York and is still available. It is fascinating ! <span class='jfriedl'>Just placed my order at Amazon Japan, thanks! I was at a doctor's office today to get a note certifying that Anthony does not currently have the flu, and noticed on a computer near the doctor a screensaver with beautiful photo of a distant farmhouse at the base of some mountains. I commented that it was a great photo, and he replied "I took it yesterday". :-) —Jeffrey</span> For anyone to whom these photographs appeal as much as they do to me, can I recommend the book: ‘Japanese Homes and their Surroundings’, by Edward S.

He's been following you and knows how much I love almost anything Japanese. I'm in Germantown, Wisconsin and have been to Kyoto once in my lifetime, but hope to get to return in the next year or two. I'll keep checking in on your photos. I love to get a bit of a more cultural feel for the country and various cities. THANKS Just got your site from my son, who is a photographer in Boulder, CO.
