Topic: Japan and the Contax G1

[calbisu]

Few months ago I finally went to Japan. It was a family trip, so I went together with my little family. I brought with me the Contax G1 with the 28mm lens. Even being a family trip I was able to do some street photography on my own. I left our accommodation pretty early in the morning and I roamed around with the little camera attached to my wrist. All in all was a fantastic experience, afte seeing many japan shots from fellow filmwasters I finally had the opportunity to give it a try myself ; )

The last of the B&W and the first and fourth color shots really stand out. Nicely done.

Nice photos. The shot of the car driving through the bamboo is particularly impressive. Reminds me of a scene from the beginning of Spirited Away.

Ooh, that first color shot...

[SLVR]

agreed the first color shot really stands out

Also long time no see carlos!

[Late Developer]

Fantastic (two) sets of photos.  The third of the B&W and the first and fourth of the colour sets are, for me, the stand out photos - but that's being picky.

Beautiful series, love the bw and that 1st color shot, oh my ...

Nice storrytelling and it looks like you had a good time, lots of impressions and surprises? First colour is just amazing. Plenty enough inspiration for a short novel!

[calbisu]

Thanks Aksel  A short novel you said, could it be from Haruki Murakami? Love that writer 

CArlos.

[Harvey]

What I think about when I think about photographing?!

Echo the sentiment on the bamboo hedges, smashing. The perspective on the shot with the chap and his wheelbarrow caught me too.

[Aksel]

Would not mind a touch of Murakami, he or rather "the wind up bird chronicle" was responsible for me handing in my coursework late.
Totally worth it!
