New York, oooooooooooooooo New York

it just moves. moves on. moves around. moves always. moves beside you. moves over you. changes. rapidly. are you a part of it? or do you not matter to it? or is IT a part of you?....just some night photography of this city...of lights, tourists, of everything there is as if you can not find it in New York it probably does not exist.

Eternal city on fire...

Pompoms, anybody?

Question of the day - who loves pompoms more - kids or parents?....pompoms of all sizes, of all types and of all colors....I KNOW I like them more than my son does...but they are so fun! why?...I wonder?....maybe because they remind of an icecream cone? or a baloon of unthinkable color? or because they are so sooooooooooooft and fuuuuuuuuuuuuzzy?.....

Japan - how NEAT!

So my first impression of my first trip to Japan was - how NEAT!....how impeccably neat everything around me was! From vending machines serving hot and cold green tea to amazing implements for making pompoms sold in crafts stores....from little envelopes holding receipts to your purchases and separately packed for you to beautifully ornamented streets - without any traces of garbage ever..from those beautiful pagodas to ultra-modern buildings....and of course - from their love to crafts to such beautiful "implementations" of that love - the Noro yarns, the attention to all detailing of the craft....

So I fell in love with anime, with variagated yarns, with kimono...with color and neatness....

....and just got back into it!
so here is my take on Japan....
