What a strange vintage we are. Constantly needing to photograph each thing, each moment. What other species demands to self archive everything? The same information, experiences, places visually captured over and over again. What do we expect to learn from it; from taking a picture of it all? No Coining - All Rights Reserved

Ojima Island

Unlike most of the islands in Okinawa, the Kume Islands were created by volcanic activity. As a result the island has some very interesting rock formations. The Tatami Ishi Rocks came about from eons of waves wearing some of these volcanic rocks flat. Japanese people have named them after their traditional flooring, because they say the rocks resemble it.
A very interesting hermit crab I came across. The round thing on the left part of its shell appears to a barnacle. When I started messing around with this hermit crab, the barnacle started spewing the pink goo that you can see in the picture.
