Omedetou Gozaimasu!

Just a few minutes’ walk from here (and three months ago), our good friend Kitaoka Shinya married Nishio Tomoko at Saginomori shrine. I had the honor of being the official amateur photographer, armed with my digital Nikon, an old-school Nikon from Kitaoka’s camera collection, and a bag of his lenses. My lack of experience photographing weddings was complicated slightly by my not being able to review or delete the photos shot with the film camera. How did we manage in the old days? ; )

Congratulations, Kitaoka-san and Tomoko-san! It makes Mari and I very happy to see the two of you happy together, and we wish you long life, much love and many children.
