RURAL JAPAN, KANAGAWA PREFECTURE 1961

I JUST DISCOVERED A FEW HUNDRED EKTACHROMES TAKEN WHILE IN JAPAN AND I HOPE TO BE POSTING THEM AS TIME GOES BY........

Shortly after arriving in Japan, I purchased a little 90cc motorcycle, more akin to a Moped, but yet a motorcycle. For a guy who liked to get out in the country and shoot photos, it was the perfect little bike. It was difficult to get a passenger on the back, and within a few months, I no longer felt like sketching alone.

The cycle went for $25. Yes, some romantic young artist must still be motoring around the rural areas at this moment. My only fear, however, is that most of the rural area has disappeared. Such is youth; such is progress as time goe by.
