Lai Tak Tsuen (勵德邨) Fuji Superia 100 [Expired]

by Matthew Posted on April 22, 2018

This is Lai Tak Tsuen (勵德邨) a public Housing estate in Causeway Bay. The building in the pitchas is Lai Kit Lau (勵潔樓). The buildings are famous for their circular design and were featured in the the 2017 movie Ghost in the Shell.

The city of Hong Kong inspired Director Mamoru Oshii’s vision of the year 2029-set city in the original 1995 Japanese animation. Lai Tak Tsuen as well as several other locations and landmarks (including the circular over-pass I was standing on when I took the first pitcha) were featured in both films.

Electioneering, Ferrania Solaris 100

by Matthew Posted on August 31, 2017

It happened to be that time – most people in the Clanfield / Horndean / Waterlooville area vote either Conservative or Liberal Democrat. I think you have to be firmly behind an ideology to go as far as erecting a sign that displays your political party of choice on it. As for me, as if anyone cares, I don’t base any of my ideas, opinions or my voting habits on an ideology.

East Meon, Kodak Portra 160

by Matthew Posted on August 17, 2017

Some of the pitchas from East Meon, a beautiful little village in Hampshire about 3 miles from Clanfield. It’s a very sleepy and picturesque place, there’s a thousand-year old church in the village and a couple of lovely pubs. We had lunch in the Izaak Walton where we had a below average plowman’s and a Bowman’s Ale – I can’t remember which one.

East Meon was mentioned in the Domesday Book and even featured in the English Civil War – the Parliamentarians camped outside the village before the Battle of Cheriton.

During the WWII the Luftwaffe dropped 38 high explosive bombs and approximately 3,500 incendiaries on the Parish – stupidly they only managed to kill a pig.
