Haikyo

Not sure this fits on my blog but found it interesting none the less, it's a rather a bizarre story a bit distantly related to photography. There are groups of people (haikyo) that visit and photograph (they only take photographs, they take nothing from the sites) various abandoned human made structures in Japan. The first link below it for photos and vids made at abandoned love hotels, the rooms are in surprisingly good condition considering they are abandoned. It figures the garbage in Japan is neat, why not the abandoned buildings. The blog also includes some rants on marriage and other cultural Japanese things.The second link is from the original CNN story  about other types of buildings, sites visited and photographed by the Haikyo.
