Festina Lente!!

Leica M-9P is the most wonderful camera than any other camera I have ever had.
It doesn't have useful performance at many situations.
But, sometimes it brings me wonderful photos not related to my skill and sense.
It's really my hobby camera !!

Today ;
I moved around the Tokyo almost a day.
In the morning, I had a meeting with representative of partner company at Asakusa where is well-known to foreigner.
Every suggestions from her brought about great emotions for us.

By the way, this statue was built in front of the "Sumida ward" hall in 2003.
His name is "Kaishu Katsu" who lived from late Edo to Meiji age.
He was one of the most famous men who had impact to old Japan in that age.
I used to read his life's story when I was a pupil. I would like to read it once more.

2 weeks ago, I replaced my "Summilux 21" lens with another new one  in Leica's garantee.
Old one didn't draw better pictures than I expected.NEVER!

Summilux 21 is by far the most expensive lens for me.
I doubted if those pictures  were taken by it.(  I doubted if it was a lemon.)
Then, about 20 days ago, I went to Leica Japan in Ginza to check it.
Their answer that "may I replace it with new one for you ?" brought me a great relief.

And today;
I can take some pictures with new one.
Of cause, I was satisfied with them.

"Ogawa-machi" Bar which had been renovated from Japanese ryokan hotel has debuted today.
I heared that its history dates back to "Edo" age, it have been lived at least 150 years.
We;EasterEgg signed up a contract with this historic Japanese cuisine hotel. We'll take many photos of wedding couples at here.

I like apple very much.
Even computers, I would purchase Apple.
Today, I ate two kind of apples. They were sweet and a little bit sour. Green apple was particularly delicious.

And, I've been making the Apple computer work for five hours.

Today's wedding party was unforgettable for me.
Brides was wedding planner at a restaurant in Shirokane,  Minato ward till 3 years ago .
She seems to really core about us.  She taught us how to behave in polite company and we were also given some priceless opportunities by her. 

We cannot emphasize too much that she is an Angel for us:EasterEgg.
Congratulations on your wedding !! Yuka and Atsushi!!

I'm planing to visit your lovely new home within the next three month to share strawberry wine which we started ferment today. I can't wait !!

Today ; It had fascinating sky hadn't  it ? Don't you think so ?
I went to taking photos of wedding to Koshihaya-lake-town.

Actually speaking, I was afraid of today's weather that it might go to rain.
But, if anything it was lovely !!

I tried "Summilux 50mm ASPH" into practice as a first time.

I was satisfied from its pictures. They were fabulous beyond description outside my poor sense. I decided I would use it more from now on!!

Do you have some hobbies?
My hobbies include taking photos, reading books, drinking coffee, eating something yummy, collecting leather goods and some cameras and lenses .

But, those are too luxurious for me. I have to cut off my expensive hobby.
Then, I have to find a real hobby which is important for me.

Probably I can find it someday, or I will look for it forever.

I had a walk through the Ginza in the late afternoon.

Today,  it was very fine day.
It wasn't too hot, also not too cold.
It had been blowing comfortable wind to me while I'd been there.

Please walk along the "Miyuki-Dori" street,  there is a "Leica shop Japan".
Of course I came into that shop and I learned about how to maintenance of my M9-P from service man of Leica.
Those methods taught from them were very simple. So I can use it as usually as other cameras. And I only should sweep it and keep clean after I finish taking photos of anything.

After I left there, I headed to Apple store Ginza.
I noticed many people were crowding in front of the store.
There are too many sad.
I couldn't feel Steve Jobs had been dead as fact.
I even thought I might have delusion. It is absolutely true.
May his soul rest in peace.

Today's shooting spot was "Ristrante Stella Polare" in Koshigaya Lake Town.
While waiting for the bridal couple, I took photos in the actual situation as a test. 
I got many marvelous pictures.
I hadn't seen such a high quality lens　for long time .

By the way, I restarted drinking coffee at my home from today.
Owing to the huge earthquake, I stopped doing it this spring.
Then, I saved up the one hundred yen coins I used to spend a cup of coffee.
I'm going to contribute the saving to sufferers of the earthquake.
