I do not “get” cats, but that is why they get photographed.

Also- the spots on the wall were actually there on the wall, and are not mistakes in the film development as I had originally thought. It looks like it is some flash reflections coming off of the mirrors of the scooter. The 1st shot taken further away has them in a similar place on the wall at a slightly different angle.

From Sunday:

More to come tomorrow, these few were just from Saturday. The rest are on tokyocamerastyle.

Tsuchida Sensei’s advice for my next step as a photographer is to concentrate on portraits of women- to shoot them on the street with the same intensity as the Gaijin series. “You might even find a wife out of the deal” he said. That or a visit with the cops.
But the lack of women in my pictures in the show was noted by a lot of fellows over the course of the week the show was up. The problem with shooting pictures of ladies is this: The more you shoot them, the less you are seen as a serious guy by other ones. But the truer thing is this: If one is in your viewfinder, why wouldn’t you take the picture?

In the next few days: tokyocamerastyle explodes !
Every other person who came to the show had a fantastic camera over their shoulder. I’m talking about Black Chrome M4s and 4×5 press cameras with 120 roll film backs. And about a dozen Contax G2s.
