A Photo I Took in 2012
I got a surprise today while walking in the underground arcade north out of Kyoto Station, when I noticed on the wall some photographs that I took eight years ago.

The Article
by Alice Gordenker
I did the photography for Alice's article as a fun project, as described in two blog posts at the time, “Japanese Candles” and “Japanese Candles, Followup”.
The article is still on the Japan Times web site, here, and originally looked like this:
The two candle photos bookmarking this post are the originals for those used in the article.
I was in the area to renew my driver's license, which went quite smoothly, so that's taken care of for the next five years.
I used to blog six days a week — this will be my 2,635th post — but I've been taking a break for a while, so I hope I can remember how to make this post. If you're reading this, I remembered. 🙂
Glad to see you posting again. Just a short note from a long time fan

Well, technically, it means I’ve steered clear of getting caught for traffic violations for a while. 😉 —Jeffrey
Nice to see you blogging again! It was very interesting following your post about photo, some family aspect. Then with velo. I hope everything goes well for you and your family. Hope you could get back to USA soon to see your family.
Thanks sharing all your thought for all these years. And even more for your lightroom plug-ins.
Frederic a long time fan of your posts
Happy to see you pop into your blog again. I am still trying to read thru all of your cycling posts from the years. I keep losing track of which one I left off from, however 😛
The resolution of Strava’s photo hosting doesn’t do your ride summaries justice, just saying 🙂
Wow, long time no see. Great to see another interesting post with that stunning candle image.
Glad to see you posting again. Guess the next time I’m in Kyoto (from Houston, Texas) I will have to swing by the north arcade to check out the displays there. My last visit to Kyoto was April 2019. I am a fan of your blog and your O’Reilly Regex book. Thanks for sharing and wish you and your family all the best.
Nice to see a post from you!
Hi this is Massimo, visiting from Italy.
I was just checking links pointing at my old website and I found one I left when trying your Lightroom plugin.
Thank you again for sharing.
As soon as I will return to Kyoto I will go and look for your photo..
Wish you all the best!

Relieved greetings from a silent reader in Germany, glad things seem to be fine!
Still I haven’t thanked you for showing me the Zaohashi in Wakayama, to which I rode a nice sweaty ride from Arida in summer of ’18. Thank you!
Best regards, Jan
Heyyy!!! You back!! It’s great to see your post again. Cant wait to see you share your adventure and beautiful shots.
Wish you all the best and i hope you stay healthy 🙂
