Consistency

What I like about all your recent photographs is the consistency with which they are executed. The format seems to be pretty uniform, if not identical. The pictures always treat that not-so-busy-actually-almost-village-like-yet-clearly-urban side of Tokyo with few people in the streets and that particular clarity and peace that often follows after short summer rains. And most importantly, there are these delicious tones of your carefully selected film, which again makes me marvel at the shadow details.

I must say I'm quite impressed about how you found a/your signature virtually "over night".

Thanks, Valentin

Consistancy, hmmmm

Thanks Valentin,
I think I sould try a few "people-full" shots I would agree that the shadow detail thing is a nice plus. My take on that is it's the nature of film. Maybe later this year I will try a roll of color negative and see how that works. Thanks for the comments. Casey

Yes the B&W can tend toward somber-ish tones. By nature the impression can be a little dark when compared with color, but I hope the shots do not create a heavy feeling. As you say "film noir" in a nice way.

Thanks for the comments.
