The mobile phone is very convenient...
Hard to live without it... It's the only phone I have... no land line at home. When I was working it was my rule to never conduct business via phone or email outside business hours. People got use to it that approach.

Waseda is a good school ; )
Thursday Throw-Back...
The b&w photos are from 2012 and the color from 2013... all film. Number five is one of my favorites... taken with the Nikkor-H 2.8cm f/3.5 I took this lens to the Philippines and liked the results (the photo of Raul, 'Presci' our guide, and AP). You ...
I told this story before but might be worth repeating...
I was walking across the street (from photo left to right) and didn't really notice the setting. When I crossed from shadow to light it was very noticeably warmer... pause, think, look. A change in temperature was responsible for that photo ; ) Vis-à-vis ...
Number five....
absoolutely, my fav as well . Almost surreal, the car seems to be floating! Three and four are likewise excellent. Those ones are 'you' at your urban landscape best . Cheers, Filip
Thanks Filip...
The third photo was taken after my morning intensive class at Waseda University... I definitely enjoyed being back on campus albeit with a very busy schedule. For some reason I was thinking "Blues Brothers" in the subway ; ) The fourth is from " Shimokita...
There is just this look that comes from film.
That adds to the overall feel and composition of the image. Really lovely black and white series Casey. I have to take up my film cameras and start shooting again. Though its a pity some of my favorite Agfa black and white films are long gone and some of ...
Jeff: Some from the Leica Monochrom are "also" excellent...
I am thinking of "Echi's" photographs... he is more or less dedicated to the Leica Monochrom at the moment ( Link ) For b&w I have enough stock of Neopan 400 & 100 in the freezer to last a few years, after that who knows. I like "JCH Street Pan 40...
Thanks Casey
Yes I do shoot with the Monochrom the CCD version which I do agree is as good as it can get for digital B&W. I do however miss the feeling of film of not knowing what I have exactly captured until I have developed the film. I am absolutely not denying the...
Something to be said for knowing the equipment...
and having the appropriate (film,) filters, accessories etc.... I read recently (true or not) that one of the biggest reasons for lack of quality results is camera shake, and when considering image stabilization vs. a tripod... the latter might be a "bett...
Love the
‘lady walking’ and ‘2 guys in subway.’ Very nicely composed. There are so many opportunities for great pix in and around the trains/stations in Japan, let alone everywhere else. I have a question/suggestion: When I turn my iPhone sideways the photo does n...
Thanks mdg...
The second and third photos were developed on 28-Aug-2013... about five years ago. The film was Fujifilm Pro 400 (PN400N) which I understand was only available in Japan (since discontinued). It was a formula created for the Japan market and was a little w...
I knew a man who was an MBA professor...
...at Waseda. My wife spoke to his class once. A good school, I think. We are fellow travelers when it comes to modern tech. My iPhone is all I have. I am a privacy zealot and use no social media at all. Some day I will probably even throw away my phone :...
