oh... and some cell phone pics of todays lunch:

 

[JBroida]

tonights dinner...
I would tell you more , but you wouldnt believe me if i told you. Suffice it to say i ended up sitting next to someone super famous who knew me before i knew him (he literally knew me by name... blew my mind).

 

[schanop]

Do not hold us in suspense ... -_-

Sashimi plate looks tasty, though.

it was a journalist from tokyo that i had never met before... i was talking to the guy next to me and he turned to me and asked if i was jonathan broida... we ended up having a long conversation about knives and food... i had no clue who he was, but everyone else was taking pictures with him. I was embarrassed to ask who he was, so i asked the guy next to me. He told me i need to watch more TV and read more newspapers here.

 

[schanop]

Cool story. You should find out and tell us whom he was.

Very good to have you in this time zone..

 

[JBroida]

i still have no clue... i was too embarrassed to ask... he asked for my business card, but had run out of his. I'm going to ask one of the guys here who he know more about him.... i'll keep you guys posted. Either way, it was a fun conversation. Its nice to be reassured that i dont suck in japanese

[dmccurtis]

Great photos. Love the low-key monochrome thing you've got going on.

 

[Nasr]

last set is fantastic ..they all are but I love this set alot..

 

[JBroida]

yeah... i'm stoked to have some new canvas prints made from this years photos. Consequently, when i do this, if anyone has a photo they want made into a canvas print from these photos, let me know. I think we should be able to accommodate. I think the ones i normally have made run about $85 or something like that.
