Colour version was really flat so it's been tweaked to B+W in order to save the shot. Hasselblad with the 50mm.

Kamakura sunrise
Shot this on new years day 2011. It's been sitting around until now. Couldn't decide which version I liked so I just waited seven months until the right one popped out at me :-) Shot with provia 400x - expired I think.
Mirror realities
I started to shoot this series and felt it lacked depth but it has been siting on my computer for a while and I thought it should see the light of day. Inspired by Jon, it's trying to find a different way to look at the same space I use to visit many times a week. Anyway, now that it's out I can leave it alone and get on with trying to find a new subject (which is seeming to take a very long time).
Dog's on the beach
This is a shot from a long time ago. I must be the ultimate procrastinator when it comes to choosing what to post.Everything about this photo is wrong but I can't help loving the atmosphere and spontaneity. It's starting to dawn on my I might have something for beaches. maybe i should spend some more time on them :-) (obviously this whole post is a note to self)
Coast
A place I will revisit once my back is back to normal.
Shrine
Road to Oblivion
In the middle of nowhere in Yamanashi you can find a series of these.
The look of love
Guarding the void
Multitasking
A skill you acquire here over the years. Takes practice but completely possible.
The attempt
Ginza line
I've been going through a series I've been working on - eventually working my way up to editing it in some way that adds meaning to what I have shot (always nice to figure it out in reverse. Kind of like designing a logo and thinking up the bollocks rational after to go with it). I've decided that revisiting the images after about 2 years starts to give you a nice perspective on them. This is one that could well fit into several themes I could have going with the collection. Who knows!? Better to get a few out into the wild than let them all just rot on my drives. I'll make a second call out to those in the know about the editing assistance. I'm sure at some stage the series will see the light of day. In the mean time I'll likely post the ones that don't make it here and the ones that do over to the soon to be revamped 50mm.jp.
Days past
Alien eye
Still life
This is the same leaf I shot using Fuji instant film. Wanted to see the difference between the two. The Instant film has more personality but I life the tones of this shot also. The image was really inspired by this New Order album cover. This is me just managing to waste several hours one hot Saturday afternoon figuring out how to shoot it.
Forgotten
Part of an upcoming series.
Mini series
Twirl
Painterly madness
I was looking at my archive today and found this shot hidden away. Sometimes it take a year or two for me to finally see something in a shot. In this case it was not the foreground at all but the background craziness I had ignored up till now. Shame there is not more interest but still, I quite like the painterly feel.
Kawasaki on film
So I finally finished the roll and got the film shots I took at Kawasaki developed. Here is the film vs digital.
I'm not sure if you can see it here (even at a large size) but the film appears to have more depth than the digital shot which just seems flat.
In any case I like the square format a lot more.
