[非公開] Word Traveler
720-world-waiting-P1060407, originally uploaded by Abraham Lincoln's Photography.World traveler is a set up on my desk. The figure is one my daughter did. I think it is made from common household items found in the kitchen. It has remained white as snow over many years and while he is always lost, traveling somewhere, he does pop up now and then and is admired for his ageless, good looks. I gues..Sendai|2010-09-02 09:45 pm推薦 -
[非公開] Kawauchi Campus - Former Camp Sendai
Kawauchi Campus - Former Camp Sendai, originally uploaded by Abraham Lincoln's Photography.Memories of JapanThere are a lot of things I used to remember about Japan but they fade with the passage of time.

My old notes are helpful reminders of how to speak and writ..Sendai|2010-09-02 08:09 am推薦 -
[非公開] Staff Sergeant Abraham Lincoln
Staff Sergeant Abraham Lincoln, originally uploaded by Abraham Lincoln's Photography.Those were the days of saki and roses and beer. I was new in Japan but there long enough (1953 - 1955) to be promoted from Private to Sergeant. I had just gotten married to Patty and had to return to Japan. This photograph was taken in the barracks at Camp Schimmelpfennig.Sendai|2010-08-31 07:29 am推薦 -
[非公開] What Warm Saki Does
720-saki-from-scan0003-©-abraham-lincoln, originally uploaded by oldmanlincoln 2010.I liked the book the first time I saw it. I couldn't read Japanese but I had a vivid imagination.

[非公開] The Playground
kids_maingate, originally uploaded by Abraham Lincoln's Photography.There was this playground equipment beside our Camp Sendai Main Gate. The children were always playing there and they all lived in the small houses in the background. This entire area is now built up with larger buildings, and many are office type buildings. Notice the use of red in the clothing. I never saw anything like it. Mo..Sendai|2010-08-26 09:15 pm推薦 -
[非公開] Playing in the Streets
kids_play_street2, originally uploaded by Abraham Lincoln's Photography.When I was there in the early days, the children played with toys they created or they used beer bottles and filled them with dust from the streets and then played like they were selling beer and somebody would buy a bottle and act like they were drinking it and get drunk and fall down. These streets turned to mud when it ra..Sendai|2010-08-26 07:43 am推薦 -

[非公開] Girl Along Hirose River
girl_along_hirose_river, originally uploaded by Abraham Lincoln's Photography.I met this little girl who was walking along the Hirose River. I assumed she lived nearby and played along the river. If you look carefully, you can see some of the Army barracks and other buildings on the riverbank in the background. That would be where I came from. We were always out and about looking for things to p..Sendai|2010-08-25 09:19 pm推薦 -
[非公開] Abe with Little Girls
cp_sch_abe_with_kids, originally uploaded by Abraham Lincoln's Photography.There was this wall behind our camp that supported the ground and on one side was this lane or alley. I came out our back gate and was going into town when these three came out and smiled and allowed my buddy, Jim DeMarco, from Chicago, to take the photograph of us. Just imagine, that oldest girl is now about 60 years old..Sendai|2010-08-25 09:14 pm推薦 -
[非公開] Four Little Girls
girls, originally uploaded by Abraham Lincoln's Photography.You might have missed the little baby girl hanging on the oldest girl's back in a kind of kimono attachment. They were walking along by themselves and making lots of giggles and small talk and I asked, by pointing to my camera and to them, if I could take their picture. They indicated that I could by shaking their heads up and down rapi..Sendai|2010-08-25 08:17 pm推薦
