The loveliest of lovely old Japanese couples

Lee Chapman of Tokyo Times, one of the oldest photography blogs I've been following, has released his list of the top photos for 2019.

Even by recent standards, this year has been an absolute shocker, but in a world seemingly gone mad, photography has once again been an incredible source of joy, and to a certain extent, escape. The gift that without a doubt just keeps on giving. What’s more, the constant desire to photograph the city, and indeed the country I live in, has taken me to all sorts of places, and in doing so, allowed me to meet all sorts of different people.

I love how Mr. Chapman captures the every day life of Japanese society, and his photographs aren't of the touristy type. I especially like his posts on bars and restaurants, which remind me of the Netflix series Midnight Diner. I would love to visit Japan this year.
