Throw Back to “Hanami” in Hiroshima

Posted on March 27, 2015 by Sydney Morris • 3 Comments

I took these photos one year ago in Hiroshima, Japan during a long-after-school bike ride. It was almost always a bit grey on the streets of Hiroshima, but the gloominess fit the architecture of the city in a peaceful sort of way. The statues in the Peace Park always appeared bolder when they didn’t have … Continue reading →

Grant Investigates Hiroshima’s Love for Fresh Food

Posted on July 12, 2014 by Sydney Morris • Leave a comment

Stumbled across this article one of my good friends, Grant from Cali, wrote a few weeks back; he spent a day exploring Hiroshima and conducting interviews with managers of local grocery chains in the city. His conclusion? Hiroshima loves fresh food. “Normally, in a typical Costco, fresh produce accounts for 6% of the stores total … Continue reading →

Posted on July 3, 2014 by Sydney Morris • Leave a comment

One of my absolutely favorite writing styles are thought streams. And memories are my favorite thoughts to describe in this fashion. Four major cities in six months. Paired with each I have created a mosaic of memories and a thought stream of places or a specific moments. Considering I was based in Hiroshima, I had … Continue reading →

Exploring Tokyo like a True Tokyoite – well at least from my perspective. To permanent city dwellers, I probably looked like a very lost Gaijin. On the Shinkansen ride to Tokyo I thought about Hiroshima, Naoshima, Kyoto, and all the random locations I had adventured through around the country and I became very excited because … Continue reading →

Eating and Cooking in Japan

Posted on May 27, 2014 by Sydney Morris • Leave a comment

I have found food in Japan has a very different flavor than foods I have tried in other places, and it particularly has quite a unique over all flavor. It isn’t really a salty or a sweet or a spicy flavor, but some combination that I have only experienced in Japan. Don’t get me wrong, … Continue reading →

Japan in a Polaroid Picture

Posted on April 28, 2014 by Sydney Morris • Leave a comment

My favorite part about the polaroid camera is the lighting. I have been experimenting with this lately and have yet to be disappointed by the mysterious and inconstant behaviors of the exposure. Something about taking pictures of people is great with the polaroid too; as if it captures the entirety of the moment rather than what can be caught … Continue reading →

The Power of a Panel, Honesty, and Generalization

Barefoot Gen In school we have been studying WWII and the affect of nuclear weapons in general, and specifically in Hiroshima. However, TGS took a new approach and ditched the history text books.

1000cranes

Posted on March 21, 2014 by Sydney Morris • Leave a comment

Do you know the story of the girl who made 1000 cranes to make a wish that might save her life? Sadako was only two years old when the atomic bomb dropped in Hiroshima, and just ten years later she was diagnosed with Leukemia. Throughout her life she had heard stories related to the paper crane; … Continue reading →
