About

Let me make something clear right away: I’m an amateur photographer on my good days, a total hack on my bad ones. So the idea of me having a photoblog is a little presumptuous, if not outright silly. I don’t even have a real camera – I lug around a Canon S3 IS, which is basically a point-and-shoot with an ego problem. But I take a lot of photos in Asia, and some of them, on rare occasions, are not completely embarrassing.

Mostly these photos sit gathering dust at an unvisited online photo gallery. For about a year, I was content to drop an occasional photo from this huge, invisible inventory into a post over at my main blog Man and Ultraman. But I’m basically a lazy writer, and I eventually realized that posting photos was a great way to avoid having to actually write anything for that blog.

So in an effort to rid myself of this pathetic excuse, I started The Daily Edamame, a place where I can stick all my photos from Japan and my continuing travels through Southeast Asia without using them as a crutch. They’re not brilliant, but maybe they’ll give you some notion of what my life here is like. If you like something, say something.
