Of course, my #1 reason is that I simply didn’t have a camera until this spring, and I haven’t really gone and done anything spectacular since I got it, but I know some of you guys want to see lots of pictures of Japan now that I’m here, and I kind of didn’t go through with that very well so far. I’m still here for 8 more months and I have a feeling I might go nuts on “tourist stuff” once I see the light at the end of the tunnel, but now that I have a camera, I’m going to try to visit places and take lots of pictures. I mean, I’ll definitely want to see them again 60 years from now when I in my senile dementia wonder what on earth I was up to in the early 21st century.

That out of the way, I’ve uploaded a bunch of pictures from Gion 2009. Actually I didn’t take a lot of pictures, not nearly as many as I took 2008 [1] [2] — in fact, I didn’t even go to the big climax deal in the morning on the 17th this year — but I did take some and the camera is a lot better this time around. The pictures are available in a set on flickr, here.

More exciting is the fact my camera can make movies, and I made one of the float you see in the first couple of pictures. It’s embedded below.

That’s all for now! Excuse me as I go perish in the sultry heat.
