I know how to use a film picker

Filed under: japan, Photography — John @ 10:41 pm

Payday equals a trip to Yodobashi to re-stock up on film, paper, and chemicals for the month, and this time I bought some more bulk fuji presto and another film picker. I broke the last one pretty bad, parts came off and everything. This time though, I asked the same guy who always helps me in Shinjuku how to use a film picker and I left with a new skill that I will put to work during spring vacation- 10 days of nothing to do. I will catch up on the 110 rolls of film that need to be developed and also print up a 6×7 portfolio.

Taro, Mike and Noel (The two new interns) and I all went to Shinjuku tonight and we ate at Himawari Sushi, probably the best kaitenzushi that I know of. The women who work there all know me and get me a cup of water right as I sit down. One of the great things about being a regular customer somewhere is that what is already standard Great service gets even better. They (various places of business, often food-related) start adding on the ramen toppings you like for free, put different special types of non-menued fish in your lunches– the gals at McDonalds can’t do too much in terms of giving things away but they sure do smile a lot, and in a technical sense it does say SMILE on the menu.
