“If your pictures aren’t good enough, you aren’t close enough.”
- Robert Capa

I try to always have this in mind.
After i took the first one, i thought, i should get closer, and i’m glad i did.

A couple of days at the beginning of summer in tokyo and yokohama.

One afternoon, and one roll of portra the park.

I’ve done 3 rolls so far with the Naniwa kit. This one is from the 3rd roll - Centura 400. About the 3rd of the price of portra, and it doesnt have its tones, but nevertheless still nice. Pushed it one stop to 800.

A small party at home, ended with a witches hat, and cloak….?

成人の日に写真を撮りに行くのは初めてです。最近注文したライカも使ってみたっかたです。ちょっとびくりして、おもな交差点は半分が閉まってて、なんか不思議なサーカスみたいのパフォマンスをやってた。 明治神宮にいた時、カメラを持てる人の人数が多くてもすごいびくりしてた。特にパパラジみたいで成人の女性のまわりを丸く囲んで撮りまくってた。 It was a first time for me to bring a camera out and shoot on the “coming of age” public holiday. (and a good chance to use the leica :) ) I went to see if anything was interesting at meiji jingu, which turned out to be an eye opener for me. I was so suprised at how many people had cameras. All sizes, but there were a numerous amount of people with huge zooms on their dslrs. A lot were standing from a distance ’sniping’ away at the 20 year olds. Whilst in shibuya, they had closed off the main streets and had circus-like performances throughout the day.
