Even this site's Engrish has a certain grace.

Avenue is a site of a snap photograph. Please enjoy it slowly. Here's a Japanese site of exquisite photographs. And lest I be accused of self-posting, let me say for the record that I neither took nor posed for the photos in the Orange Swan series.

Sorry, but rather unremarkable.

Nice to see that you have appointed yourself the arbiter of taste, Martin.

That's marvin, not Martin. And we are all arbiters of taste. Me? I'm with marvin on this one.

May I just say that while I lurve orange_swan, and the following has no bearing on my respect for her; our pond has recently become infested with real ones. Swans are mean, I tell you what. Meaner than geese. Mean. And big. Currently, the ducks and baby ducks are taking refuge in our yard with our dog, because they'd rather take their chances with a giant dog that can bite through a cow femur than those damn swans.

These photos aren't bad, or particularly interesting either. I think that if you live in Tokyo, you will find them to be generic, well-shot snapshots. I like the design of the gallery page, though I wish I could see the title of the series before I clicked on it. I wouldn't be able to find the orange swan series without orange_swan's link above.
