Canon, I have been away from you blog for a couple of months. You have matured in your photography, and you have developed your own distinctive style. I am delighted by it. The series of flowers on Flickr rivals anything I have seen, ever. I am so happy for you. I have no idea how you get the colors, tones, bokeh, and DOF that you get, but it is phenomenal. The effect is mystical and painterly. Publish some of your work. I would really love to see that. :-)

Dear Canon,
I’m mad about Japan history & culture. And photography as well. Your pictures let me dream. I consider myself a newbie in this area, although I do use OLYMPUS cameras (OM-1 the first, SZ 20 the last).
If you like, you can se my self-portrait as a Kabuki actor made in 2000.
Perhaps we can become cyberfriend n Facebook, if you want.
My best compliments for your research. Have a nice week.

  Thanks for your visit to my blog, and your words, much appreciated.
  Your self-portrait “Kabuki actor” is excellent.
  That’s very kind of you, but I can’t take on any new commitments at the moment.
  Because, I’m a foreign language is not very good. I’m sorry.
  I wish you will be better for research.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I saw your work, and it is very beautiful. Where do you live? As you might know, I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. I started working since last November, so I’m unable to post much of pictures. I’ll pop in to your website time to time. Keep up with your good work! May Coffman

  こんにちは、Mayさん。日本出身とのことで日本語で書かせてもらいます。
  嬉しいコメントをくださって本当にありがとうございます。
  私は日本の関東の片隅に住んでいます。このブログを始めてまだ3週間。wordpress.comのブログを巡っているとき、偶然貴女のお子さんたちの写真に出会い、それはもう際立って可愛らしく、長い間見つめてしまったの！
  メインサイトも拝見しています。これからも楽しみにしています。
