The Ricoh GR IV Digital
I have been wanting a point and shoot since I sold my Fuji Film x100. Too often I see a cool camera or something neat I want to share. My Leica often just isn't the right tool.
I was happy when I picked up the camera this morning that the battery had a partial charge so I could shoot it a bit while I was running some errands. The camera is tiny so I can easily slip it into my pocket or a camera bag...
I love the colors this camera can produce...
While I was out I also picked up a camera for my 6 year old (at his request)! I was cleaning up around my home office the past few days and found tons of points cards from Yodobashi-san and Bic Camera. In Japan many of the stores, especially electronic stores, have point cards where you might get 10% or 15% back as points you can use on your next purchase. For example, if you buy a $1,000 lens, you might get $150 in points that you can use starting the following day. You collects lots of these living in Japan and it is very easy to lose track of them. I was able to get a lot off of my camera and his with points.
More homeless cones...
Check out those knee pads...
I stopped off to pick up a new home phone... after listening to an exhaustive explanation of all of options and the clerk triple confirming exactly what I wanted, when I was thinking of buying...
...he let me know that 'hot pink' was the only color they had. Sometimes I wish people could just deliver bad news up front in Japan rather than dancing around it for 15 minutes. You don't have it. I get it. I'll walk across the street and pick it up...
Check out the GR's macro capability on my jeans...
Me too...
I stopped off quickly for a small bite of sushi... the perfect meal when you don't want to be full.
Negitoromaki...my favorite. Double please.
I also stopped off at the Nikon Salon in Shinjuku...
I am thinking of applying to do an exhibition there... I am working on a coffee table photography book this year and figured it would be nice to do a showing around the same time.
Thanks for stopping by today...
