Nice to be back home
It's nice to be back home after so long on the road. I was able to get out last weekend for a little bit with my Hasselblad. There is something so satisfying about the 'thunk' sound the shutter makes. It is a great way to get out and relax for a little while on the weekends. I was inspired to shoot some film after my friend David send me Johnny Patience's latest article on metering for film. I decided to get out and shoot some of my favorite local familiar places.
Today's Configuration: Hasselblad 501cm with a Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm shot on Portra 400
I haven't shot any 'Me in the mirror' shots for a while...
7 Eleven apparently has a delivery bicycle...
Rainy Jiyugaoka...
I don't understand some of the businesses in Japan. This one sells sauces. Perhaps I don't understand the economics of the business. Let's assume rent is $5,000 a month and another $5,000 for their overhead for staff, electricity, etc. Bottles of sauces are 800 yen. Let's assume a 100% market up so they make 400 yen (or $4) per bottle. You would have to sell 2,500 bottles of sauce just to cover your monthly expenses.
A lovely lunch with Mayumi at my favorite News Cafe. I love this place.
Still going strong...
