Zach awry in Japan

15 March 2009 Imp in the Mist

My mom is here for a visit, staying in our house for a month. Whenever I tell American people that their jaw drops, but it doesn’t phase Japanese people, perhaps because three generations living under one roof is still common here.

My mom was nice enough to get me the new Nikon 35/1.8 lens, which I would recommend for anyone with a DX Nikon camera. It’s cheap, light, sharp as the dickens (not that you can tell shooting through a showerful of mist), and has nice bokeh.

One of the first subjects I shot with mine was Zoe in the shower. I realize that seven nearly-identical shots may seem somewhat excessive, but the key word is nearly, and narrowing it down to seven was itself a struggle.

    These photos are sooooooooo cute!!! Zoe even looks like you in a few of them!! By the way, we really miss those Japanese bathrooms… you can’t really give a kid free reign with a hand-held shower here. But perhaps most of my nostalgia is for those heated toilet seats…
