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.

Summilux21

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.

Apples

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.

Fabulous

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.

Always wide angle lenses let me take unique photos.
At times, I'm apt to think myself "I might be a special photographer" or "I might be genius".
But it is not true. They mostly have been taking by special lenses and cameras.

I want to suit to them as quickly as possible. I would put my thought into practice.
I intend to take photos of wedding ceremony by my favorite lenses for many couples.

Blow out my perverse mind

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.

Dreaming

111004.jpg
Today;
Leica M9-P had arrived to me. So I should have been waiting for it !!

016.jpgLeica M9-P;my dream camera will take me on the my dreaming world.
I should take of many many photos of all of the world. Also I would like to shoot my precious as long as I live. 

WEB SITE

110904_2.jpg
Now, I and Isao are constructing new web site about analog hand made photography.
Recently, most of people might image digital photo more usual than analog photos.
But, we;EasterEgg emphasize too much.
However digital photos will be easier and give us vivid pictures, that technologies are not yet to be reached to complete domain, now.
We absolutely think photos gazed at long years need higher archival ability.
Negative film and hand made photos will qualify as art for us as long as there are nostalgic feeling on us.

ELMARIT

I'd never been interested in 28mm lenses.  I thought it is too ordinary for taking photos.

110629 2.jpg

But, now I have 2 ones .

110629 1.jpg

Especially, Elmarit-M is one of the most ordinary lenses of the world !
Will I ever handle it better ?
Anyway  I'm looking forward to taking photos by it .
