Subject: Biteki,....a great choice

The day I was leaving from Tokyo (Dec.21) I saw several copies of Biteki on
the news stand,...but I was reluctant to look at it since seeing the copy
of COSMO which slightly disappointed me.  
However, due to the huge sums of $$$ (yen) spent on advertising this mag.
on the train from Kamata station, I was bound to have a peak at what all the
fuss was about,....and to my pleasant surprise, found some of the best pics
of Seiko that I have ever seen,...page 28 & 29 get my vote,...especially since
they follow a style quite close to what I strive for in my wedding pics,...
simple, candid, truthful and lacking of the contrived smile that we see too
much of in other photos (sorry Seiko, it's not your fault...I know how hard it
is to be behind a looming lense).

For those of you lucky enough to have 'borrowed' one of the ad posters, keep it
well as it is now definitely a collectors item.
I actually saw the time when they were putting them up,..and was tempted to
take one myself........oh well, maybe next time.  :)

Regardless of which set of pics you like, I think Seiko still looks great!

Have an excellent X-mas everyone and a very prosperous New Year.  Follow your
dreams!!!!

Doogie.
