Yanesen, Hasselblad, Kodak Portra 160NC

by Matthew Posted on October 23, 2018

Three pitchas I took on the day we went to Yanesen (Yanaka, Nezu, Sendagi). The first was taken from the bridge overlooking the train tracks at Nippori Station and the other 2 are of nowhere of any special interest but it was a quiet neighbourhood where we spotted some handicrafts being sold from peoples homes – that sort of thing. It was nice.

Alone in Kyoto

by Matthew Posted on October 22, 2018

Hasselblad 500 C/M / Fuji Pro 800Z

The title of this post isn’t just a casual reference to a beautiful yet sloppy film that’s littered with lazy stereotypes. I was actually alone in Kyoto.

Chu Chu was tired and all puffed out and didn’t want to venture out first thing in the morning but it was such a beautiful day I didn’t want to miss a single second of it.

Hanazono Jinja, Shinjuku

by Matthew Posted on August 30, 2018

Hasselblad 500CM / Kodak Portra 160NC [expired 03/’12]

This is Hanazono Jinja (ginger), a little Shinto shrine that by some accounts is one of the most historically important shrines in all of japan.

I took the batteries out of my light meter to feed the Pentax espio mini so I was guessing exposure. The pitcha of the lady doing bowing is obviously under-exposed.

Train to Kyoto – Ferrania Solaris 100

by Matthew Posted on July 27, 2018

After five fun-filled and frolicsome days in Tokyo we got on the choo choo train (shinkansen) to Kyoto. The sky was overcast so we didn’t get a view of Mount Fuji. The coffee in the pitcha was terrible. Just terrible. I’m going to call it ‘train coffee’. I still drank it though. The little breaded pork sarnie was ok.

If you have a JR pass you can get the Shinkansen (bullet train) to Kyoto – all services except for the Nozomi service. We got the Hikari service from Tokyo station. Very easy.
