Lost in Shimokitazawa

This is an entire roll taken on our first full day in Tokyo. I do so love uploading entire rolls so everyone can see how shabby my photography really is. For those of you who might be wondering – one roll of 120 film equals 12, 6×6 frames.

We moseyed on down to Shimokitazawa, a district that by all accounts is the epicentre of Tokyo hipsterdom. We found it very pleasant and not too try-hard. We arrived early morning on a Monday as the place was springing into life. A couple of hours later all the cool kids were there.

We wandered off into the ‘burbs and had some breakfast and then got completely lost which is always good fun and finally found ourselves back in the shopping district. Matty bought a dead stock army surplus jacket from a little shop called Hoochie Coochie. Nice one, Matty.

Uppark House Cafe, Fuji Pro 800Z

We spent another day doing nice things – this time we visited Uppark, an 18th Century English country house owned by the National Trust. Some later additions to the property were 2 pavilions, one of which now operates as a lovely cafe serving cream teas – there’s a huge lawn at the front overlooking the South Downs with some lovely views. Unfortunately is was a bit chilly and it started to rain so we couldn’t sit outside and enjoy the view from the lawn – next time.

Southsea, Fuji Pro 800Z

One of our last days in England – some lovely weather and a trip to Southsea. We had lunch at The Tenth Hole, a little cafe next to the golf course and then walked along the Millennium Path from Southsea through Old Portsmouth to Gunwharf Quays. Great Stuff.

The first roll of a batch of Fuji Pro 800Z I found on taobao. Great find and it expired only in 2012. Not sure how it’s been stored – judging by these frames, not particularly well but I’m sure it will be ok in the right conditions. It’s just figuring out what those conditions might be before I run out of the stuff…
