Steven, you are among my favorite photographers who actually go out and shoot. So many are just doing gear reviews. I also like to talk film gear and gear in general, but you do a great job balancing gear/ actual photography. I just wanted to thank you for making videos. They make me want to go out and shoot/ film.
Love this video about b&w photos taken by Kodak Retina IIIc and Hasselblad. Yes, there are more poetic and reflective meanings to enjoying Sakura, but I still wonder if people who come to see the blossoms are simultaneously thinking about the hereafter. I think it is most important to enjoy the moment and capture it in film, and appreciate what Nature gives. Nicely done videos and shots ❤❤😊😊
BeautifuI photographs you took! I especially like the shots where we can look into the Hasselblad viewfinder for some time! A very calming part of my day. Thank you!
Catching humans in the scene , that makes it really stand out. I enjoyed seeing the " big " kid swinging ... I loves swings , even as an adult , like riding a bike all laughter and smiles. The things that you treasure , are the simple moments. Good photo's along the path too Steve, adding humans into the scene , gives deeper meaning.
Thank you for sharing Sakura. I was fortunate enough to experience the season last year in Gifu. This August I will travel to Koyasan, and Tokushima for Awaodori festival. Inspired by your example, I will be sure to bring my Retina IIIc.
Retina IIIc, long time no see. I've gotta pull it out and take it to the street then. Thank you Steven for the reminder. Once again, beautiful captures and narratives.
Hi Steven, the FOMAPAN 100 film looks good, though I think the Kodak XX you used in your Israel clip is still my favourite. Do you make any prints yourself? Thanks.
