Festina Lente!!

Today;
It was absolutely lovely day wasn't it ?
The sky seemed really transparent and perfectly light blue.
It was too suitable for me to enjoy taking photos than usually.

I went to "Stella Polare" in "Koshigaya lake town" as my job.
I love Italy, and this restaurant is well known as a small Italy to neighborhood.

I've been cherishing for this precious restaurant since 2002.
And no doubt,  my thoughts for it never change as long as there is existing .

In fact, I'm not workaholic man.
If anything, I'm rather a very loose man.
And, I'm wondering some friends say "You should take a rest more!".
I feel something confused whenever I was told such kindly word.

Therefore, I should be a suitable man for that words.
I wanna be a better man for society and humanity as a whole .
I must continue to study forever!!

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!!

Today;
I went around EasterEgg's Aoyama atelier for business.
Asuka Net well-known by world's photographers is very close to our atelier, it's only 1 minute.
We can go there and look at all type of their albums whenever we would like to do. And I thought we mustn't forget we are in convenient position.
Therefore, today  I spent very long time gazing at many types of new albums.

After I left there, I went to wedding dress shop called "Izumi-ya" on my way to our atelier.
Owner and I were talking to each other on business and private things.
Always he let me notice this business world and how I grow up our company under favorable conditions. 

I often write letters to our customers and partnership companies in handwriting.
When I write short letter, I usually use postcard drawn some picture on reverse side.
My handwriting letters are absolutely awful, but I've done it on my best ! My heart is in it.
I should return to the main story.
Sometimes, I have to write a lot of letters, but actually always I enjoy using my fountain pen, because I can write on sheet of papers made in Florence, Italy.
Both letter sheets and envelopes made in Florence are completely marvelous.
It's a little bit expensive to use them every time. But I would continue to write letters on it carefully.

Today ;
I bought memorial stamps printed about "Tokyo International Airport " for my letters.
I didn't know that airport is 80 years old. It's much older than I thought.

By the way, I still don't like to board to airplane, I really think, if I have enough time I'd go to Europe or anywhere by trains, buses or ferries.

I feel that photo album's trend is gradually changing. It's correctly natural in any age, anywhere.
But, as the same time I believe some of couples would like to choose only one for them.

We;EasterEgg have been continuing to supply the best photo albums to you since 2000.
You can expect to us.
We intend to announce a few new albums in a month.

Today ;  I went to "Stella Polare" at Koshigaya lake town to deliver a wedding photo album.

Whenever I do so I have lunch there.
This lunch includes an hors d'oeuvre or salad, pasta (Select from five flavors), sweets and a cup of drink(tea or coffee). It's only 1,500 yen.
It's enough to be full up.
It goes without saying that those taste very delicious !

I recommend you this fascinating Italian restaurant if you go around the Koshigaya lake town.

I can assure you that you can refresh from here.

A fascinating leather photo album that is made in Italy will officially debut within 10 days.
Today ; We finished putting photo on each page.
It's absolutely marvelous !! Don't you think so ?

If you would like to own this album please call us. By all means to EasterEgg !!
We can show you many types of leather album.

Anyway, please wait for our announcement with pleasure.

Next week; I intend to go to "Bridal industrial fair".
Recently, bridal business market is gradually shrinking. We should do thorough review of our business style at this opportunity.

I'm not good at enjoying dinner party.
Because I'm a poor drinker, I have an unbalanced diet. Of cause, It is very harmful if I want to live long.  But that's another story.

Anyway, I had to go to dinner party tonight on business with manager Kosugi.
In fact, I felt I've spent a lot of my precious time, but it is important for our business to shake hand each other.

I would like to be a little drinker !!

Today;
I went to Ebisu for learning a  "Capture One Pro 6"  with  seminar.
I have known it as the greatest software for developing digital photo data since 2005.
But, it was enough not to be friendly for me.
Then, I preferred other software.

As　time went on,it has grown up by far the most marvelously.

I thought I would study it once again.
And, I put into practice, today.

Seminar cost ¥3,000. but it included this book.
It was much cheaper to pay it. This book costs really ¥2,940!!
We can hardly find this book at major book store, also Amazon. How lucky I am !!

I studied that software on my computer with this book since I came back home.

I purchased my bicycle for keeping my health.
I would ride it at least 3 times a week.

Today, I had first chance to ride on it for delivery to "Restaurant Stella Polare ". I thought that distance is suitable for me.

I'd started pedaling my own bicycle. I felt a little cold, at first.

But, only a few minutes later, I got hot and good feeling!

I'm sorry about this weather like as rainy season, a little.

Perhaps, I'll have to go to Venezia as soon as possible.
Tragically, in all likelihood I won't be able to stay there only 2 days !
But, it's a real business trip, so it's inevitable.
If it will be fine, I would take many photos of Venezia as a aquatic illusion city.

Today;
It had been raining all a day !!

Tomoko Nakagawa, Satoko Miyake, Ryoichi Ageishi and I went to "Kyuemontey" in Yokohama to cooperate with their wedding fair.

We had pleasure time with many couples and we were given a lot of power from smiles !

They were preparing for wedding party with smiling all over as if bride's friends !! I'm apt to be frank to couples there, because all staffs and couple's distance is very close. But, I think it is better than too formal. It was very good weather from dawn to about noon. I hadn't felt humid and hot, also I wasn't bitten by a mosquito. Japan is in the best season, now. don't you think so?

Strictly speaking, I was wondering how it will be today's weather, because yesterday's weather report all said "It will be rain." And I was going to have to prepare for rain.

Any way, I went to "Stella Polare" at Lake town in Koshigaya to take wedding photo.
I won't forget couple's smile and big laugh as long as I live.

Soka atelier was established in late 2000.
Till today, I have been buying many unnecessary goods.  And day by day, that room was gradualy occupied by them.

Today;
Many goods that I had purchased in past were tidied up.
Surprisingly, according to some goods I couldn't understand why I bought.
Now that I've found that each in people's heart is never filled with by things, I shouldn't buy something on impulse.

Today;
It was so lovely day, doesn't it ?
The weather had been fine.
Temperature just fitted to us, and also humidity was the best refreshed !!

Spring will has been going to pass us at a moment. Summer will come soon.
The Meteorological Agency says. Probably, we'll have to suffer from a scorching sun.
And, we have to face electricity shortage from nuclear power plants accident.
From just now, we should prepare to against it, shouldn't we?

But, don't forget to maintain of your pleasure, always.
What pleasure do you have in the summer?
One of my summer's pleasure is iced coffee.

My favorite iced coffee is dripped down from this coffee-maker.
This is called "Pota", and it makes so-called "Water drip coffee".

If I wanna drink some "Water drip coffee", I have to wait for about 10 hours.
I also like that, too.

Today;
A family came to our atelier.
We hadn't met each other for almost 3 years.
So, they got married in May 2008, at that time I and Yurie Fukuno took photos of their wedding ceremony and party.

Now, they become a parents of their baby.
He is 18 months old.

His parents said  "He continues to become more and more mischievous  and now he is  at the most mischievous age".

That reminded me that my 2 sons were similar.

About 1 hour later, he slept peacefully.

I heard his father who used to be a groom has been taking many photos of him. So his father is an eager photographer.

Now, I'm very happy. My heart is full of gratitude.
I'll be cherishing this feeling as long as I live.

Today;
I went to Tsukishima in Tokyo to buy some gears for studio shooting.
Gin-ichi is one of well-known pro shop among photographers.
I haven't been there for about 3 years.

I'd buy many many things for studio if money were no problem.
Poor me !

Let's go back to the subject.

I was intending to buy so-called "Chimera" at first, ...I hate to tell them this, but it smelled awful. It couldn't buy enough.

I decided to select them after so much hesitation almost 2 hours
Those name are "Creative Light".
I had better add more reason.
In fact, those were more cheaper than the Chimeras, and Those style are coolish.

For about this decade, trend of wedding photos that couple fancy for their wedding day has been snap shot.

But recently, little by little the trend is moving back to traditional style.
I think this tendency has relation to what couples select their wedding style.

Anyway, we have to prepare for any photo style that couples prefer.
Then, I've purchased "Wireless system unit" with strobe from maker.

We'll be able to take photos more wishes. And, no doubt, it'll bring about great benefits for many couples

 COMET

Tomorrow, it will be very cold and snow.
Probably, many couples will get marriage tomorrow.
I think they will get an unforgettable day, and our;photographers, too.Now, we must let go of negative side, always maintain a positive attitude!!

Oh, I'll do  pilates, from just now.
I have been stiffed shoulder for long years.
Go away !! Painful shoulder!
