Hello!
My friend Yoshimi and I have a new venture; photo maisonette, a daily visual diary of our two different lives in our two different worlds in Japan and Australia. The new blog is inspired by the wonderful site 3191 Miles Apart, a site which has changed a lot since it started, but initially was a wordless site where two friends regularly posted side by side pictures from their two different lives. I loved the idea! and our blog will be along those same lines... a photo a day, from our two individual perspectives. We are not collaborating on the ideas for our photos beforehand, nor will we be writing any explanation behind them; but hope that our pictures themselves tell their own complete story and illustrate what our lives are about.
Yoshimi cleverly suggested the name for the blog "photo maisonette" which I think beautifully captures the idea ... of course in English a "maisonette" is a small house with one flat on each of two floors, two individual occupants occupying each floor. So there is an upstairs person, and a downstairs person. Similarly, our "photo maisonette" will have two stories; the upper story belongs to Yoshimi, and the ground floor is mine.
We hope you enjoy visiting our new blog.
