my friend cat on a roof 2

I took this on the other day from the previous post. I was working in a room, and I heard the cat was walking on a roof. I looked down from the window and he was resting and looking down there. There is a run room outside of my grandmother room on a 1st floor, and the plastic roof is reflecting cherry branches and my curtain.

mi amigo gato my friend cat

There is a white wild cat that always come to my balcony. He uses (I think he) our roof to path by like a commuting path. He did not go into the balcony because he was scared. I think he got used to now and he does sunbathing on the roof and stay inside the balcony. Before he run away when I saw him but now he does not move when he does sunbathing.

I have some unused films black and white and positive films, because I have been using portable digital. I decided to use up the roll of films, and took the cat. I kind of like the denseness of color of the black and white film.

"what?"

"now what?!"

baked cake with a rice cooker

A rice cooker that we are now in my house has different function rather than making rice.
You can make bread, make cake, boiled egg, and other. It is now eco time, it is good to use a rice cooker for the different purposes.

I put cheese and bacon in the rolled bread and baked in the oven.

my own photos for online event

I just attend online event from Canada. I tried to take snapshot with iChat and send to then.
Everybody else online has video connection, so they can play music and talk online. but I could not so I just sent them photos of me. (^_~) sorry had to be early in the morning in Japan to match NY time there, so no make-ups.

I hope to have a good coming year for you all and to myself for next year!!

I used royalty free CD images and my photo that I took in my area in Osaka Japan.

Kitakagaya Osaka Japan 北加賀屋周辺アートスポット

2011年、10月26日。
北加賀屋周辺にアートスポットがあると聞いたので散歩がてら行ってみた。
工場が沢山あって大きなトラックがたくさん通っていた。
駅から海の方？へ歩いて行った。大阪マラソン前でマラソンコースだと言う看板が出ていた。
少し歩くと、気になっていた、Air 大阪があった。
アカマルシェの時に市内に泊まりたかったので宿泊施設を見ておきたかった。
なんか思っていたのと違ったが、（もっと路地裏にあると思っていた）いい感じだった。
人気がなかったのでノックするのをためらって遠目で写真を撮っただけだった。
う〜ん、でもなんか周辺に遊ぶ所も知り合いも食べる所もわからなかったので、結局あかマルシェの時はいつもの西成に泊まった。

Creative Centerの場所を探した。
場所はわかったが、中からトラックが出て来て、「関係者以外立ち入り禁止」という看板があったので、入っていいかわからなかった。（後で某ぶらり歩き番組も入っていたので、やっぱり勇気を出して入ってみたらいいと、思った。）
結局そとの壁画の写真だけ撮った。

帰りに近くの公園を通ったら、平日なのに草野球らしいグループが昼間から野球をしていた。この街はのんびりしているのか、工場で忙しいのか？そんな感じの場所だった。

そういえば、地下鉄の構内の雰囲気も通路が長くてなんか変だったな。。。
（敏感に感じてしまうので。。）
たまには違う雰囲気の場所に行くのもいいが。。。汗;

AIR Osaka guest house for artists

Sometime I take Alfred Stieglitz like architecture photo.

The place used to be shipyard and now storehouse and NPO art/music spaces.
