This wouldn’t and doesn’t look out of place at all in Tokyo where it was shot. Using film cameras and shooting film in Japan is surprisingly common, film is still living on with both amateurs and professionals. The store where I used to buy film was the size of any ‘decent’ camera store here in...

Ahem… Monochromatic Monday
Was yesterday… Again I’ve managed to forget! So here’s a black and white to start off the week. This was taken in the entrance to the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography ‘Syabi’. Hasselblad 500 CM, Zeiss Planar T* 80mm f/2.8, Ilford Delta 3200 film.
Nippon
While I’m back in New Zealand the other half of St Clair Photography is still in Tokyo for a few more weeks. Eiko has been shooting friends in and around Tokyo, I absolutely love this photograph. It’s nice to see a fresh perspective that differs from my own, where I would probably focus on the...
Coca-Cola bicycle?
One random night in Tokyo we stumbled upon a Coca-Cola bicycle. Never seen one before, anyone got any ideas if it’s special or not? Leica M7, Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1, Fuji Pro 800Z.
Summer in the middle of winter
I thought I would break up the wedding photography with a quick post from Tokyo. I shot this for Viviane three days before leaving Tokyo in Daikanyama. I love the feeling I get when looking at this photograph, it feels really warm although it was shot in the middle of winter. I’ll post some more...
Zojoji Temple New Years Eve 2009
We saw the beginning of 2010 at Zojoji Temple and the releasing of over 3000 balloons into the air. Now, before any environmentalists keel over in disbelief I can tell you these balloons are made from what the Japanese call “Oblaat”. “Oblaat” is the thin clear material that surrounds medicine capsules that dissolve in water....
Holy Cafe
Eating, eating and more eating before I leave. This was shot at the ‘Holy Cafe’ in Daikanyama, Tokyo. Really nice all concrete interior which only the Japanese know how to pull off properly. Leica M7, Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1, Fuji Pro 800Z film.
A meal in the attic
I have so much personal work to blog! These past couple of weeks we’ve been going around cool cafes and restaurants spending our time hanging out, meeting friends and shopping. I’m really going to miss places like this, there are so many hidden treasures around Tokyo, hidden in seedy looking buildings on the eighth floor...
Light lights and more lights
Ok, I love this photo way too much to not post it straight away. As soon as I got recent scans back this one immediately jumped out. Leica M7, Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1, Fuji Pro 800Z film.
Christmas in Tokyo
A few photos from Christmas. These were taken in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Every Christmas they put up a great light display which makes for some insane bokeh! Leica M7, Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1, Fuji Pro 800Z film.
