Tim’s Ramblings

Some film scans shot a few weeks ago while in Japan. Here’s a lantern from the Meiji Jingu Shrine.

Another shot of Shinjuku’s back streets at night.

Ali from the photoshoot yesterday.

:)

Photoshoot this morning. A new family this time. Actually…they used to live in the townhouse I live in now. Interesting huh? Anyway, the kids were very cute. The older little girl had no problems posing for the camera while the little boy was a bit more guarded. He looked so much like his dad it was a bit surprising actually. Group shot? Next to impossible with all the distractions…something to be said about a studio. But focusing on the kids, it’s nice to let them run around and occasionally look up to capture the moments. It’s these candid moments that, when I manage to capture them, makes me very happy :)

So here’s their daughter giving me a big big smile :)

Their son was a bit more shy but he gave me some good looks!

And the two of them, when they did get together, were quite adorable.

An outtake at the end of the shoot. Nice family!

:)

Developed some film the other day. So there will be some nice B&W shots coming over the next few days I hope.

One of the many tourists at the Meiji Jingu Shrine. Though needless to say, she was attracting quite a bit of attention with the short skirt and the attention seeking stockings. I have to wonder though…would she wear the same thing if she was visiting a church? Because, as open and popular as it is…the shrine is still a place of worship…oh well.

The entrance to Omoide Yokocho in Shinjuku. Means “Memories Alley” it’s a bunch of tiny old school stands selling good simple food and alcohol. Good stuff.

Shelly checking stuff out on my computer. She’s always such a patient model for me :) And I’m digging the rendering the f/1.7 50mm lens gives me on dad’s old Pentax MX camera :)

Dinner at Michael Simon’s Bspot. It is yummy. Good good burgers.

Film scans today. These are from the Mamiya medium format camera so it’s shot in 6×6 square format. Kodak TMax 100 with post processing done after scanning.

Sarah’s new horse Keeta. Big horse but very gentle.

:)

A bit more abstract. This is the all glass curvy wall of the National Art Center, Tokyo.

More film shots will be coming soon as I just developed 2 rolls. One from the horse farm and one from Japan (finally).

Just some B&W photos for today.

Here’s Shelly at Sweet Melissa restaurant at dinner. The “gotta have a wine glass” theme continues :)

A shot of Shinjuku outside of the West Gate from a few months ago.

More HDR photos from the Art Museum.

:)

Just another subway shot :)

:)

The tram station at Dulles International. Crappy airport. Nice architecture.

The hallway at the National Art Center, Tokyo. Got there early enough before the Man Ray exhibit opened for me to take a pic while they were still mopping the floor.
