... I was captured by this wonderful series of black and white photos. I had to sit back down and spend more time with each, plus give a shout out for your work. I appreciate your comment about walking through the tunnel for some brief relief from the heat — likewise here this weekend in NYC. Thank you these great views of life in Tokyo!

I had been shooting digital the last couple of months and it was a great feeling to get back to ISO 100. I am ready for a road trip... any road trip. September or October to Nagano Prefecture for sure. That first one was a tripod exposure from the balcony... 

Superb shots [nt]

but this season it's about half that much due to the danger of heat stroke... even with one liter of sports drink one has to take care. Fujifilm Acros 100 was discontinued recently but is scheduled to make a come-back in September... I have a bunch of the...
