Hi Michael, I love your photo Substack, and I know your title with "too many pictures" is meant to be ironic. In this digital era, there is no such thing as too many, right?

Electrons are free, and storage space in the cloud is unlimited, so when I travel I fire away and come home with 1,000+ after a 2-week vacation in Europe. There's just so much to capture for the beauty and charm, and of course, to help preserve the memories. The challenge is sorting them out and choosing the best for Substack and for the Shutterfly photo/text albums I compile after each major vacation trip.

Your photos of Shinsekai are wonderful and I enjoyed every one of them. Glad I stumbled onto your photography newsletter from the link in your post about lusting for snow. (But not cold...)

Looking forward to your next post! Meanwhile, enjoy that Hawaiian cruise. And don't forget to pack your camera!!

Shinsekai in Osaka sounds amazingly cool, and kind of insane.

Thanks, NF! I also love that kind of cultural diffusion. And Bangkok might be my favorite city in the world. I wonder if we visited the same place?
