Here is round two, again in no particular order. I’m not in love with all of these, but I thought I’d post everything I scanned in hopes of getting some feedback. You never know what people will respond to. Well, at least I don’t. Thanks very much to everyone who commented on the previous “rough scans” post. To make things a bit easier in terms of commenting, I numbered these images as well as the images in part one.
39 – interesting tension between the police men in this image
23. so fine balance. love at first. other lovers: 21, 30, 32, 33, 37, 37
39 and then 36 do it for me.
Curious to know if you were shooting any 4×5 and if so, did you have any trouble with Japanese authorities while setting up on a tripod and getting under the cloth?
22.
21 is my fave…then in no order…22, 30, 31, 32
@Terence: I have never shot 4×5 in Japan. I always shoot with my Mamiya. As far as setting up on a tripod goes, I would not be nervous to do so. I'm not sure if you've had bad experiences with that there, but it seems to me that the Japanese have a deep love and respect for photography and are very accepting of people making pictures. Every time I've gone to a park, or some picturesque spot there, a bunch of Japanese people have cameras on tripods and are all working hard on their pictures. It's really cute.
Surprised there's no love for 19 yet. This is very lush and beautiful in its abstraction. I think I spy the butterflies and I wish I could see a this print BIG and in person to get lost in the details of it….
36. Shibuya is amazing
21, 26, 30, 36 do it for me, although 21 is my favourite.
I would like to see some more with a wider lens, but that's just me.
I love that you are still practising 'proper' film photography. Lovely stuff…
Oh, and I like all of the first edit… is that Fuji Reala – it would be apt for Japan!
36,34,21,31 & 24 –me likee
Number 26 makes me queezy in a way i can't explain.. and i love it..
