Japanese Interior
Monday 23 January 2006 @ 1:10 am

Pendant que nous marchions au travers des Tori, nous sommes passes devant des maisons qui etaient ouvertes sur le chemin. Des interieurs tres simples qui allaient remarquablement bien avec l'atmosphere reposant de l'endroit



While walking tru the Tori, we’ve passed along houses opened. Really quiet interior which matched perfectly with the relaxing atmosphere of the place

Walking the Tori
Saturday 21 January 2006 @ 3:07 am

Voila les fameuses Tori de Kyoto. Il y a des kilometres de chemin dans la foret et l'on passe entre ces portes espacees de 50cm chacune. Elles sont achetees par vous et moi et ils en installent tous les jours ! On a passe un super apres midi. Je recommende vivement l'endroit si vous visitez Kyoto !



These are the famous Tori in Kyoto, Japan. There are miles and miles of path thru the forest and these huge red door every 50cm. They are bought by people and new one are installed each days. We spent quite a nice afternoon going thru these door. Definitely a place to go if you visit Kyoto.

Je suis alle a l'anniversaire d'Antoine ce week-end avec mon Canonet qui n'avait pas vu beaucoup le jour depuis un moment. J'ai regle l'exposition un peu a l'arrache sur cette photo et je suis tres content du resultat. Le Canonet a encore de beau jour devant lui !! :-)



Went to Antoine’s birthday this week-end with my Canonet QL17 … I haven’t use it in a while. It was a good occasion. I’ve guesstimated the exposure on this one and I was very happy with the result !! My Canonet never fails me …

School trip
Sunday 15 January 2006 @ 4:37 am

Cette photo a ete prise a Nara et plus precisement dans le parc qui rejoint la maison du Daibustu :-) qui est la plus grosse structure en bois du monde. Il y avait plein d'ecoliers qui etait surement en sortie. Ca donnait une atmosphere vraiment sympa au lieu



This was taken in Nara while visiting the huge park leading to the Daibutsu Den (the largest wooden structrure in the world). There were plenty of school kids our for the day for what it seems was a school trip. They were everywhere ! It gave a very nice atmosphere to the place. These three were resting and chating.

Japan is back !!
Thursday 12 January 2006 @ 1:24 am

Je prends enfin le tremps de scanner mes photos couleurs du Japon !! Voila les premieres prises de la mairie de Tokyo qui est l'un des building le plus haut de la ville. On a passe pas mal de temps. Comme vous le voyez, la vue est impressionante !!!



More than 3 months after coming back from Japan, I’m starting to scan my color print. It’s a lengthy process emoticon .. First pictures were taken from the city hall which I believe is one of the tallest building in Tokyo. We spent quite a bit of time in there as the view is just … Amazing !! Voigtlander 15mm f/4.5 and my trusted M6TTL (now replaced by a MP)

Well, I’ve finally done it. Bought a Rebel XT with a 35 and 50mm lens. It’s just too convenient for this time for me. With all the portrait opportunity that my new extended family give me, I couldn’t resist. I’m very happy with the purchase and continue to shoot film. Developed 3 rolls this afternoon. It’s all for the best !
