Yokohama Port Terminal (FOA)































I saw more smiles and heard more laughs here than anywhere else in Japan. After being around grumpy old zangyo for a month, this was soooo refreshing.



Old man Sam with his sweet medium format camera. Highlight of the day was getting a thumbs up from him. (Close second was being offered a tripod to take pictures... a super rare gesture of kindness)

  2. Jeeze, I had this long thing typed up and I went to go check a photo and come back and my entire comment was deleted.

    Anyway, I basically said I appreciate the shots you took of the place, since it puts the sections/plans into context, and gives me a better idea of what the space inside is like.

    I also commented on the detailing of the wood, and how precise the construction had to be to be within code. The handrail especially, that had to have been a nightmare for whoever designed it. Those slopes had to be PERFECT. Alot of money.

    Nice photos as always.
