Hello there,
After viewing some photos, I am just trying to recall that we exchanged messages before... because I remember I left comments on someone who stayed at Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel, been to some places in Kyushu and there are shots of Ni****etsu trains. So, I just decided to send you a message to find out whether this is the first time I sent you a message or not...
Anyway, it might be a bit obvious but I found you after seeing a comment left on a photo of Shinsen station by tradewinds (Tony) that you haven't seen the station... True enough, it is merely 600m away from Shibuya, not many people just ride for that distance.
If I stay in Shibuya, I just stay at Tokyu Stay Shibuya, which is very close to Shinsen station, so if I go somewhere that Keio or Odakyu lines take me to, I just get on a train at that station.
As it was a sleepless night yesterday (from too much work and stress dueing "silver week" that most people are enjoying long weekend) I peeked your photostream and found out you have been to places that I also have been to, so I just could not help leaving some comments on your photos. Moreover, your photos stand out from others because I can tell that you want your photos to be "unique" and "distinctive" over others... especially I immediately fell in love with the one at Dazaifu Tenmangu and a diesel train at Yufuin station... especially I know them, I was first surprised how you came up with the color and exposure, but it is not too far off from mind's eye.
Furthermore, I should mention that you seem to like taking a reflection of yourself on shiny things! From my past experience with flickr, people who has such a tendency are quite open-minded and I just say hello and whether you intentionally take reflection photos of yourself or by accident.
The reason I am contacting you is to ask whether you don't mind that I add you as a contact, since I thought I could learn ideas of photography from daily life, to refresh my photostream with new photos with ideas. It would be appreciated if you could get back to me about it, because I once made someone upset when adding as a contact without telling. Many says I am a polite Japanese person but I would say this is one good approach to communication with others through the internet.
Thank you for reading this (if you ever do!) and please forgive my messy writing with run-on sentences as English is not my native (in fact, it's getting poorer and I am struggling with it) .
cheers
