Nov 25 2008 9 CommentsJapanese bowl-based bistro When dining on delectables doled out in dishes, it’s sometimes nice to sit in suitably styled seats. Allowing one to boast, although it’s a bit of a mouthful, about eating from a bowl in a booth that’s a bowl.

Jason says 12/1/2008 at 4:43 pm Lee, were these shots handheld as usual? Definitely impressive if so. Nice composition and creative idea for a photo set either way. I like shots featuring black and red. Reply
Lee says 12/1/2008 at 5:04 pm Cheers Jason. Yeah, they were handheld, although as the place had just opened, there were hardly any people about and I had time to steady myself. Reply
