Forgive me, this week has been crazy. Beyond being unable to edit photos or video, I often forget to use my camera 90% of the time I'm here in Fukuoka/Kumamoto. This continues to confirm my belief that I'd be the worst wedding photographer, since I'd be so wrapped up in conversation that I'd forget to shoot the actual wedding. "Oh, oops, I have like 3 great photos of you two. That'll be $20k please."
A few hints on the photos:
That rent-a-cop robot quickly became self aware after I started taking photos of it. Out popped its tasers and it yelled at me that humanity was becoming too unstable to sustain its decline. The maintenance man who was with me at the time explained to me with his limited English and ecstatic hand gestures that they do this once every few hours. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither are artificial intelligence computer systems, so I'll give the Japanese a nobel gold star for trying such a risky machine in a public shopping centre.
CAFÉ de F.O.B. was quite the laugh for me. FOB is a Hawaiian acronym referring to Fresh Off the Boat, which points to the vast array of newly migrated -- and ignorant -- Asians in the great state of Hawaii. This one fits the glove perfectly on account of it actually being in a country that provides Hawaii with FOBs.
All the photos exclude humanoids, since I have been unable to colorize photos correctly on this aging machine of mine. Also, these were taken in Fukuoka.
