Osaka 2008: People, Places, Odd Things

Sorry that I haven't posted many new pics for my blog, just lots of pics of family and friends (that I won't post on a public blog). Anyway, I still have a huge back catalog of old pics to share, to keep everyone interested until I come up with a new project. I'm going to Tokyo and Osaka again in November, and maybe Okinawa (where I'm originally from). I'll post a picture a day during these times.... but enjoy these pics for now......
