Getting around to shooting
I haven't shot much film lately. Not as much as I like anyways. I was able to get out a few weeks ago to catch up with my friend Pieter for our camera trade. I love getting new photography gear by trading and not having to spend additional money. The beauty of new gear is it motivates you to go out and shoot. Luckily I have a lot of shooting opportunities coming up in the next few days. Tomorrow I am heading out for an afternoon of shooting with one of the sponsors of my Kickstarter project. It will be nice to have a day of photography in Tokyo. Monday-Wednesday I am heading to Fukushima and I am going to shoot the communities around there. That will be 4 straight days dedicated to photography! I haven't had that in such a long time. I am really looking forward to it and finally getting around to shooting more.
Speaking of Fukushima my friend Pieter has been working on a project called SafeCast.org that has built crowd sourced radiation measurement networks.. They are doing a fundraiser on November 4th in Tokyo. If you are looking for something to do there are a lot of great people to meet there.
Speaking of Peiter he was the one I met up with a few weeks ago to swap Leicas. I got his lovely MP that I used for this post...
Today's Configuration: Leica MP with a Summicron 28mm f/2.0 shot on TMAX 3200 and TMAX 400@1600.
At Paper Pool in Yutenji.
I just love the grittiness you can get when pushing film...
