homesick.

fuck my phone. aparantly half the photos i took today are "not suported media" how the hell can they be not suported when i literally took them on the phone!? stupid thing. but whatever.

i really tired. im tired physically and im tired mentally.

i just wrote a whole rant, but decided to delete it. i dont want to make it sound like im feeling sorry for myself. or i wish i wasnt here.

i think im just in a bad mood because im tired and im fed up of being alone. noone speaks english, and i dont speak any japanese, unless i want to repeat the limited conversation that my phrase book offers... im feeling despondant about my reasons for being here, and the photos im getting.. although i cant see them... though this seems to be a patern in all my projects so far.. so... im just waiting till i get back to judge that.

i went to the more sothern enterance to the forest again today. walked around for a few hours but to be honest i wasnt really feeling it... the place really gets to me, especcialy if im not in a good mood already, i took 8 photos... mostly of the various signs dotted around near the enterance. no idea what they say. but they are interesting.. many of the paths were blocked with trees drooping under the weight of the snow like the picture bellow.. and i left pretty early..

anyone wanna translate some japanese for me?

i found this building further down the road and about 800 meters into the forest. i have no idea what it is, but there were tyre marks leading up to it from a path to its side, and footprints and the marks of something being dragged.. it was an interesting find.. i started trying to photograph it, ended up wasting a sheet of film by forgeting to close the lens. this pissed me off and i couldnt be botherd to fuck around with the 5x4 anymore. ill just come back another day.

this is the most creepy looking building ever, i followed the tyre tracks back to the road from the last building and this we a few hundered meters further down the road... i have no idea what it is? again i didnt photograph it today.
