Mac help please. When I open this folder (pic 1) it displays as empty. When I search for an item that should be in it, it displays the item (pic 2). All five of those items can still be opened.
What the hell is going on?

Four times I wished I'd set the correct film speed in my camera. I've had to spend some time editing to improve upon the lab scans (who, quite understandably, did not do so).
Always check the film speed!

When planning for our Japan holiday, one thing that excited me the most was visiting spots from the Yakuza/Judgement series of games. To go to places I'd walked around for hours. So here's me delighted to be standing outside a bang average car park in Yokohama.

I bought a digital camera to take to Tokyo. Didn't fancy taking a load of film. At the last minute I also packed a compact film camera and two rolls. So far I've shot four rolls and have started leaving the digital at the hotel.

I find myself in Japan and on an unintended Perfect Days tour. One of the toilets and the record shop (no cassettes!). The record shop owner thought that I was a famous painter and asked me to autograph his wall. I obliged.

If you have Netflix and want some comfort TV then Rikuoh is the most comforting of comfort TV
Is it cheesy? Yes it is. Will you feel a warm glow at the end of every episode? Yes you will.
It's a long time since I've watched a TV show that fills me with such joy. Let it wash over you.

"The man, who called himself Rick, was barefoot and continued to claim that he was "Rock and Roll's spiritual guru," and all should kneel before him. When the police removed his red sunglasses he cowered, crying, "No! Not the light!!". Enquiries are ongoing."
