Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

i really like this effect. the bike looks new yet the garbage growing on the bicycle indicates it's not as new as it would seem. very nice

i love these kinds of shots-- dead, dormant or abandoned bicycles just waiting for their owner to return... great in b&w.

Bender Bending Rodriguez from Cooper's Crossing, Australia
Untouched by human hands for three years...Then the drunk foreigner comes along one morn after a bender on the shu-hi and atsukan, takes it for a quick spin and gets arrested the following morning for theft and conspiring to bring the chi into disrepute. Well, the second part's going to be tough to prove but the first part's a given (or 'gibbon' if you're in certain regions of Africa).

@Bender Bending Rodriguez: Hmm... something you want to get off your chest BBR?!

Is BBR confessing? Gotta love them Aussies. Maybe the owner carefully places these plants into position after each use to disguise his usage?

@Twelvebit: Same approach taken by Bruce Wayne with the Batcave. Not quite as effective here...
@Ale Triskele: Thanks Ale.
@Alfredo J. Martiz J.: Thank you Alfredo.
@filipe franco: Thanks filipe!

But.....this "detritus" makes a very good, creative shot! The tonality contributes greatly!
