New Guy Says "Hi"

[RyukyuMIke]

RyukyuMike here. I'm a cameraman and writer living in Okinawa . The far south of Japan, closer to Taiwan than Tokyo. Old guy, a bit computer challenged but, I'll find my way around and make friends soon, if you'll just bear with me.
Cheers,
Mike

Nice to meet you,
I hope you enjoy the forums.

 

[RyukyuMIke]

Thanks. It's 9PM Friday night here. I'll be cleaning camera lenses, charging batteries and packing-up to do some Festival Photos all weekend long. Maybe have something to post here , or at least on my website, early next week.

Cheers,
Mike

Obon, officially starts sometime next week over here. But, in Okinawa Eisa Dance is performed year-round. In fact, I'm headed to an Eisa Festival in a few minutes. Hope the rain stops!
