THE ESSENCE OF A JAPANESE RESTAURANT: YOKOHAMA 1961

One of my early photos taken with composition in mind. It remains one of my few favorites. When I view this photo, I sometimes feel like I should have stayed in Japan and dedicated my life to photographing one nation that is truly one of the most beautiful nations on earth. There is absolutely nothing about this photo I do not enjoy. And because I still drink Pepsi and have not drank sake for many years, this photo has a special meaning to me. The part of this photograph that captures my attention after nearly fifty years is the traditional tile roof. Do not think me boastful, but there are times when I must reasses my purpose for having been given the joy of life's experiences. Though this is one of a material nature, we live in a material world. That this photograph is full of fond memories reassures me of the spiritual nature of life.
