Hi Karen,

This is a very interesting series for me being a food professional. 
Especially the idea of fresh tuna is very interesting because here in 
Europe even 'fresh' tuna is at least two weeks old and of course was frozen.
The market reminds me very much of 'Rungis' in Paris. Exactly the same 
kind of place except that they not only sell tuna but anything food 
related, from fish to meat and vegetables and so on and off course all 
at night.
The Japanese three layer forged knives are very nice. Actually they do 
the same thing in Norway. Three layers of iron, very sharp and hardly no 
rust. And when I say sharp i really mean sharp.
 From a photographic point of view I also like the pictures very much. 
Actually your whole site is very interested and also gives a lot of 
useful info on classic camera's.

Best regards,

Michiel Fokkema
