Snapshots from my life in Tokyo…

Tokyo Moon
It’s not that often you get a crystal clear night in Tokyo, let alone a clear night with a full moon… Shot with my 50D, 70-200 f/2.8 L IS USM from my roof balcony overlooking Shinjuku.

Japan CloudsDuring a recent trip to Matsue in Shimane prefecture I took these photos from the plane window. I was captivated by the cloud shapes sticking up through the sky… Also shot with my 50D, 70-200 f/2.8 L IS USM…

Cupping Therapy

And finally the aftermath of my cupping experience. Recently I’ve been getting some SFW massage treatment and as they were advertising a 40% discount on the 1 hour cupping/massage course I decided it was time to tick the cupping box on my list. This was taken they day after… yes it hurts when they remove the cups… no I didn’t feel any different afterwards… yes I think it is a scam… pffff… whatever… Shot with my 50D, 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM and my new remote timer switch…

  2. Hey Paul,

    Came across your blogpost researching for ‘cupping’ as I myself am trying to find our more about the therapy, in fact I have also got a blog on the subject: http://www.ahealth.co.uk .

    Perhaps you should also try blood-cupping (or wet-cupping aka hijama aka bekam), as since that’s a more drastic treatment (ie you remove blood from some of the above points, especially the darker ones), you might feel a difference straight away.

    The logic I think is, that the darker spots indicate some sort of congestion and by removing some of the ‘congested/ stagnated’ blood, you improve circulation in that area.

  5. The moon Shot is very nice. I’ll be looking forward to a shot of an orange moon just over the horizon.
