Nihon V

Didnt think i would have this but i realised that i wanted one for my film shots and interesting stuff i took.

Was in a super market in tenjin when I took this video


These guys were making this mochi thingy that you eat with a piece of seaweed and sauce.
One weird thing was that when i ate the mochi like thingy, it was very warm.
The guys pounding at the thing in there actually made it warm just from the pounding mallet action.
Imagine if Koh was doing it, you would have a ROCK MOCHI CAKE!
Very nice to eat though.. Yum yum ... i enjoyed the sample ..


The two guys pounding the mochi like thingy. Taken with elitechrome 200




Anyway enough about that...
Only used 3 rolls ... And i realised I had A LOT of rubbish shots.
All shots taken with my trustee XA2...wee...
Film used:
1)Lucky 200
2)Lomo x-pro 100
3)Elitechrome 200


First up

LUCKY 200 :
A crazy mess of power lines.


Random shots



Beautiful trees dropping beautiful leaves onto the streets!




Osaka Namba streets




The kids were just talking to each other or something..
I wish Singapore had more bikes around like this.



Eh...More random shots. Was wondering what the can was doing onto of the pedestrian post.



Gulico man !




つぎ。。
The Lomo X-pro 100 film:
I think I quite liked some of the stuff i got from here.
Too bad not everything came out as what i hoped for.

This train wasnt even the shinkansen but its already super fast and in the same shape.




Some train station with lookout towers to shoot anyone who runs onto the tracks



Crepe Man



Nagasaki peace park




Daihatsu in Nagasaki- Huge show room there



The super pitiful looking husky here is just a ruse !
The moment i took the picture and shut the camera, he got up and started BARKING his head off at me. And he was REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY loud.
Thankfully he was chained!



Superman when hes old !!
And thats a naked kid tagging along behind.



Super nice street manholes.
I thought I took more than one of them, but apparently this was my only one on film.
Thankfully it came out nice.



Why isnt Singapore as bicycle friendly? They even had bicycle crossings..
Specially ONLY for bikes... They have bike lots everywhere too!




Pachinko!!! Dunno how to play it but it looks damn fun..





Lastly
The Elitechrome 200 :
Bought this one in japan.
Thought it would be interesting to try it out.
But as it turns out, i didnt completely enjoy using this one after all.

At the Jigouku. Whole area was covered in sulfurous steam



A hole in water.


A Cross atop mt aso..



I dunno why the vignetting came out so strongly for this one though.
Wish i had more vignetting on my XA2
unfortunately i think the camera automatically tries to correct it.



Wishes for 2009...


Love their train tracks and train system.




MORE ALIENS!! The kid in the sign has HORNS!!
What kinda human is that!! HORNS?!?!


This was just chucked in the corner and I couldnt stop laughing when i saw the way the english was phrased!!!


ICE CREAM AT YOUR BECK AND CALL !!
WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?!
Dont say cheong fun cause cheong fun must be eaten FRESH !!


I think the sun was in his eye.



Super kawaii kid was so interested in my dad !!
The mom was really nice too and made he greet all of us.



Atop at Mt. Aso put there to collect money



Rainy Hakata night. I accidentally pressed the shutter.


Thats it.
Not very many nice shots, but i did like a couple of them.
Anyhow. This is prolly it for my Japan posts for this trip.
Hopefully I can find myself back in Japan sometime soon again.

This time im REALLY gonna head back to reality ....
