花見

it's that time of year for cherry blossom viewing. it's nice to spend a good time with friends.

久しぶり

it's been a while since i last used my big brick of a camera. i brought it along hoping to take pictures of cherry blossoms, but things didn't quite work out as expected.

i still got to use it. i had to. otherwise it would be such a waste to bring such a heavy thing and not use it. i've forgotten how heavy it is, and i am not used to the weight anymore. my arms got tired easily. to think that i used to use this beast before.

it was a bit of a refresh using it. i am thinking of using it more this cherry blossom season.

anyway, it's almost 4am. i have to sleep. i need to wake up early for a big day ahead.

初雪

central tokyo experienced its first, and probably last snowfall of the season a week ago.

手紙舎・ヒバリ

a nice cozy place on the outskirts of central tokyo.

とまれ

found some interesting stop signs in tsutsujigaoka

not a stop sign, but interesting as well

new year

happy new year! i was planning to post something before the end of the year, but missed the chance. my scanner just gave up on me, and these are from the last strips i scanned as a contact print. i got a chance to go on a photo walk with a bunch of talented photographers in tokyo just before christmas. hope to be able to go out with them again.

#update: scanner fixed. did a patch-up job, but hey, it works. i can scan my film again! need to study first though... =(

sunset

today's sunset. again, the colors are a bit off. this doesn't do justice to the actual colors...
