With the looming price increase, a 25% jump on all Kodak products, there were several people in Yodobashi Camera tonight stocking up now to save money later. I chatted with Shinya Arimoto about this earlier in the day- he suggested to offset the increase by shooting 25% less- instead of taking four shots of something only take three. He laughed and said that this is probably impossible though. Arimoto shoots a lot of Kodak film (T-Max) and like me uses Kodak HC-110 to develop his negs. Unlike me however, he orders his 20 bottles at a time.)
Keep in mind the people in the image above are not ”hoarding” out of fear that all Kodak films will disappear tomorrow. Kodak says that their film business is profitable. Let’s hope it stays that way.
The cemetery of Bage features a distinct mixture of neoclassic art and christian influence. It is a temple for those who, independently of being great people in life, were buried with grandeur.




STREET PORTRAITIST: A Day in The Life - Yoyogi
(This actually happened nearly a month ago, but I forgot to post it :o )
Left the house with no plan (as usual) and was heading towards the station when I saw this guy. I normally see him on the weekends on the side of the road.
I go up to him and say hi and he looks up to me and says hi…
It’s the incredible world of sushi, but actually this is the store where I buy sake (do you know that the japanese rice sake is actually called nihonshu?). That was a great day because they let me try a lot of different sake before chosing one.
