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 might see more from this lens going forward. Particularly with Neopan 100.
Typhoon №13 just missed Tokyo last night but №14 is approaching from the south and should impact our area this coming weekend... it's that time of year.

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 :...
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 ; )
