I despise blogs. With a passion.

I have no patience for other people's rants and no interest (for the most part) in their opinions; blogs take forever to load, they freeze up everything else that happens to be open at the moment in the computer; their design is an ode to idiocy (self-linking titles and dates, for starters), and, for some reason, the images inevitably are all of poor quality. Navigating blogs is an effort I am not willing and have no reason to make.

Yet, I find myself approaching something like a blog, and can only thank Flickr for providing a clear, easy to use, and straightforward format, which is bordering on a blog without quite becoming one. This is a record of things I have seen and felt. First and foremost, it is for myself. But I also hope that others will see what I saw, the way I saw it - with my eyes, and will appreciate it the way I did.

    "Arutemu's HDR shots are well positioned and rendered to give you the impression that you're there in the shot with him. The Japan cityscapes he shoots really are as cool as he portrays.

    If you want to see the Japan cityscape like no other, then this is the photostream to constantly come back to!"
