Fragments of Tokyo Exhibition at Place M 12-18 November 2012
So I guess this is me advertising the exhibition I am part of. Place M
所在地：東京都新宿区新宿1-2-11 近代ビル3F
http://www.placem.com/schedule/2012/20121112/121112.html
12-18 November 2012. 12pm - 7pm every day.
I'll be there on the 17th and 18th all day. The goal of the exhibition for me I guess is to use this as an excuse to meet people. So feel free to stop by and say hello. I'll be showing a little set I've had stashed away for a long time now. Time to let them see the light of day. Other members:
Mirror realities
I started to shoot this series and felt it lacked depth but it has been siting on my computer for a while and I thought it should see the light of day. Inspired by Jon, it's trying to find a different way to look at the same space I use to visit many times a week. Anyway, now that it's out I can leave it alone and get on with trying to find a new subject (which is seeming to take a very long time).
Railed
ok, So I am taking some serious inspiration from Jon and posting a few of these because, more than anything, I'm liking the tones and the grain.
Legs
There is a series here but I've yet to develop a bunch of film from last year. Seems I managed to put my back out and it's taking a bit of time to recover. Can't yet be sitting for hours in the bathroom in the cold developing film.
The look of love
Reflected
Guarding the void
Multitasking
A skill you acquire here over the years. Takes practice but completely possible.
No idea
Sometimes you look at a picture and just have no idea as to what's going on. What is the girl on the left holding? What is the girl in the middle looking at and why does the girl on the right look clueless? And what are they all wearing!? Well, I guess I can't talk either. Shot the whole thing using a Hasselblad with film. What a waste! Still, not bad for manual focus and eye metered exposure.
The attempt
Ride on time
Shinjuku station. Always on time.
Another from a very large collection I seem to have.
Salary man
I was about to post a similar but lesser image and realized that this shot was not in my main 50mm.jp collection. What an omission! Shot using a Voigtlander Bessa R2A I have tried to repeat this shot countless times with other cameras with no success. This image really describes how Tokyo can feel sometimes or at least feel to the locals.
The wait
Another archive shot. Shot it way too dark but love the effect the developer had on the neg. These people look almost posed waiting for the train.
And the world just stops for a moment
Madness
One from an up coming collection
Opening of scene 4
Shinjuku station, about 12am. Rain is starting to fall and he's...
JR staff portrait
This past weekend I spent the day changing all my chemicals to new ones. My fix has now changed back to Kodak and is slightly more concentrated than before. The jars that hold the 1 gallon A and B solution needed to be scrubbed and chiseled at to remove the years of build up of gunk at the bottom.As a result of all this work my negatives look amazingly clear. It's easy to let quality slip as chemicals start to slowly die and it's difficult to notice until it's too late (or not at all in my case for a while).
