Then, stupidly, I scanned them at relatively low resolution. Next time I go to Japan (if/when) I plan to have a Canon 10D and a lot of nice, prime lenses. You can be sure I'll reshoot this series and more.

Discovering each one must've been a treat. I love not only the manhole covers but also the surface textures around them. How many of these beauties did you shoot?
