My Year of the Rat

Posted by Japanalia (Yokohama, Japan) on 1 January 2008 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

Well, 2008 is the Year of the Rat....acording to oriental astrology. As it happens it is "My Year of the Rat", my life comes the full cycle of 60 years and a new cycle will begin. Not that I intend to live another sixty!!!!
I don't know what kind of year it will prove to be...the foretelling is not that good......but I hope I can be well enough and still on my two feet!
I wonder what will Dimitrios say???????

What a great portrait, Gabriela. I presume Yoshiyuki took this of you and it's wonderful, as usual.
You two are quite a pair behind your lenses!
I hope this new cycle for you brings wonderful surprises, my friend.
