Festina Lente!!

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.

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.

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.
