I read on Twitter you had a question about using Aperture or Lightroom. Today I saw that you can download Aperture for a free 30 day trial. Here is the website: http://www.apple.com/aperture/trial/
I will get a new iMac this summer. I suggest you look at the wide keyboard that is available for the new iMacs. They are free, you just have to tell Apple to order it for you. It has a keypad, and while you may not use a keypad much, it does have a "...

Great pictures of your trip to Owakudani. I enjoy personal interest pictures of everyday life. I wondered what kind of camera you are using, your photos are so sharp. And they are so large and clear on your site. You must have lots of memory for all...
