I'm meaning to wake up early enough again to visit with film cameras in order to capture more of the place. Northern Japan was hit with a series of three major earthquakes yesterday with a magnitude of about 4.3-4.4 each. In shades of the Kansai Earthquake, roads were upheaved, buildings fell, trains derailed, and so forth. Power is lost to at least 250,000 people. Thankfully casulaties were low, about 10 people. But it's still 10 people too many. Many many people are homeless. Tokyo is pretty far away but we still felt the earthquakes. Karen -- Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/
