I've mentioned before that I find the emphasis on the "new" to be somewhat of a tyranny. In terms of sites like ipernity it means that older photos simply don't get seen. Charp has started a group that deals with this.

Vide-grenier/Garage Sale

To quote from the groups homepage. "Internet is the world of the short-lived. Here on Ipernity, new pictures drive old ones away, in the dark depths where nobody can see them anymore. :-) This group intends to react against this tragedy by bringing some of them out of oblivion. Pay attention to the rules. Their goal is to slow oblivion here! ;-)"

So, those of you who have been here on ipernity for more than 6 months, its a place to post those "oldies but goodies", and for newer members its a place to view some great photos.

Molnar

The last sequence of photos I uploaded were taken on a weekend last October. One of my little businesses that I am trying to build up is as a tour guide. I'm interested in taking people "off the beaten track" in Japan to see and experience a side of Japan that tourists rarely see. The Molnar's were an American couple I took around for a few days. We visited Izumo Taisha, Hinomisaki Jinja, Tatamigaura, the bridge at Aquas, and a festival in Gotsu.

The new sequence I'm uploading were taken on my lunchbreak. You probably havent noticed, but on Wednesdays (Tuesdays for most of your timezone) I post fewer pictures, because thats the one day a week I go to Hamada to work.

This is my 4,000th doc to get a vote/fave!!

How many have you seen?

this was the one.....

We interupt the regular progra…

I have finally taken the plunge and set up a blog and am bewidered by the amount of options available.

ojisanjake.blogspot.com

I would really appreciate hearing from any experienced bloggers who could offer me feedback, advice, suggestions, or tips about layout, what to include, how to increase traffic etc etc.

The first blogs I've posted are about the photos in the first album I uploaded to ipernity, One Day In Izumo

Most of you have probably not seen the album, so when you have 15 minutes to spare (there are 250 photos) try viewing it as a slideshow.

Cheers, and thanks in advance.

More excellent pictures.... please check their streams for more....
