spring is upon us. its been almost one year since the tsunami earthquake.
honoring those who lost their lives and the folks in the Tohoku area who are rebuilding their lives. some recent photographs in and around japan 2012
an amazing time. seasons
i wish i could share the amazing beautiful fresh ume blossom aroma.
fragrant
Wandering about Yokohama on a fine, muggy afternoon with Mr. T. Decided to ‘layer’ images of the port city, 6-images at a time, various compositions using the Hexomniscope 6-pinhole camera. Keeping ye ole fingers crossed until i process the film sooner or later. I really wish processing C-41 in japan wasn’t so expensive ! really miss processing at Hawaii Pacific Photo across the street in Mo’ili’ili !
The light was fabulous ! clear and clean blue skies, the sun dropped but gave a show of amazing colors and clarity.
Enjoyed also lugging the velbon tripod, a non carbon fiber variant thru the thick, muggy port city air. Happened on a cool rest spot, a Lawson’s convenience store situated just along Osambashi Pier. Grabbed a beverage and sat in the air conditioned air and watched folks peruse by outside. Also had Mr T’s Helios 40-2 85mm f/1.5 lens in tow, the lens ways a ton. hefty.
along the way i was testing a Helios Russian 85mm f1.5 lens. wild bokeh. sometimes sharp sometimes bokeh’d. LOL.
i think this is commander Perry’s arrival reenactment. cool. looks like it was shot w/ a tilt shift lens ! haha !
anyways, thanks for swinging by. hopeful to post some images after i get the film back.
cheers !
