Hasselblad 500 C/M / Kodak Portra 400

Here’s an entire roll I took at Himeji Castle. A couple at the train station and the last picture was taken at Zenkōjidō Temple. Post here.

In the second pitcha you’ll notice a young lady whom I decided I wanted to be in the frame. I noticed her as she was wending her merry way down from the castle. I decided I would wait for her to come into the frame. Oh, I waited and I waited.

In order to get the attention of the lady in question I found it was necessary to gesticulate wildly and some would even say franticly towards her general whereabouts. An endeavour in which I believe I was truly successful. She looked squarely in my direction and at once gave me a look of the most ferocious intensity, a look that I captured forever on some kodak film at that very moment. Was it worth it? Not really.

You’ll just have to imagine the cherry blossoms.
