Was looking through an old binder of negs and decided to try to print some images I have never printed before. Here are some scans of some possibles. Photos were shot in 1999 in Tokyo, Japan.

A Thought

I think I finally get it, it is not about them but about me, it is about how I feel about them.

The "Thing"

When Alfred Stieglitz talked with Edward Weston in New York in 1922 he had spoken of "the thing itself". Later during his years in Mexico Weston was able to finally find this "thing".

"Do your own thing, what feels right. That is the best definition I can think of for art."

Getting Ready for Next Trip

Well starting to pack for the next Asia trip. Putting together all my film, and deciding what equipment I will take. I think I will take the following cameras:

-Msterview 8x10 with 300mm Nikon Lens
-Hasselblad 503cx with 80mm Lens
-Leica M6 with 50mm and 90mm lens
-Contax G2 with 21mm, 28mm and 45mm lens

As for film, I will go with 35mm tri-x, 120 tri-x and 8x10 tri-x along with some HP5. I might also take some color film possibly some frozen Agfachrome I bought when they went out of business.

Will use the 8x10 and blad in studio might possibly also use the blad on location with direct flash. The 35mm camearas will be for street photography use.
