In the dark night...

I usually can not sleep very well and also can not go to sleep quickly. So, I need to kill my time almost every night. I know that I should need to rest my body and mind but I can not. And I usually do something in the middle of the night such as listening music, net-surfing, reading books or magazines.... Normally, next day, I really regret that I waste so much sleeping time. I should go to bed... I should do my homework or paper...etc. Of course I never learn, and, I still can not go to bed tonight, and I am wasting my time....as usual.

I found a cool magazine and I am captivated by the magazine. The magazine is from Middle East and it talks about photography. I really love their photos. I don't know why I love those, because of tones? compositions? or subjects? I have no idea! but I love their photos every issue.

One thing, I really sad about recent magazines. Usually they use digital photos. I still do film photography, so I want to see more film photos, but I don't see those so often any more. I know that someone wonder that why I like film more than digital. I think I need to have more physical connection with pictures and/or subjects. I know it sounds weird,but I think that is the reason I stuck with film.

I bought a telephoto lens for my Mamiya few minutes ago, I just want to try it. I never have a telephoto lens. No, I have one for my Canon FTb-n, but I never use it. Why did I buy the telephoto lens for Mamiya even I don't use it with Canon? I don't know. Do I need it? I don't think so. I think...just curiosity? I want to try to use it, it might be different then 35mm and medium format camera. I will try the Canon's telephoto lens when I get the Mamiya's. And I will compare those two lenses and I will tell you what I think about it.

Broken bone

I broke my toe on Monday...
I couldn't go to Voodoo glow skulls live on Tuesday. How sad....

I'm having affair with....

I have two lovers right now.
・Voigtlander Brilliant 1:4.5 F7.5cm twin lenses
・Mamiya M645 1000s
They are so cool looking and I fell in love with them.
I went out on a date with both and took 12 shots with them. Of course, I don't know about them very well, so my first date with them was terrible. I developped some films tonight but I could tell Brilliant and Mr. Mamiya didn't enjoy the date with me. BUT, I could tell they are still interested in me, I still have some chance to go out with them. On the next date, I will try to impress them.
Ahhh, I love them......

Omiso-shiru (Miso Soup)

If I miss my country, I make Japanese miso soup.
My roommate who is American don't understand this. Japanese miso soup heel my Japanese heart. He doesn't enjoy it like me. If he is Japanese, he understand me completely...... but ....


My miso soup taste like tears....now...

Happy New Year !!

Happy New Year !!

抱負?!

2008年に立ち止まって沢山悩んだ分、2009年は立ち止まらずに歩いていこう
悩みながらも歩いていこう

晴れた日には上を向いて、太陽を一杯に浴びて、元気に歩いていこう
曇りの日には、大好きなCameraを片手に、写真を撮りつつ歩いていこう
雨の日には傘を片手に、大好きな曲を口ずさみながら、水たまりの上をスキップしよう
疲れたら木陰に腰を下ろして、大好きな本を読もう

夜になったら、丘にテントを張って
大好きなGINを飲みながら、大好きなあの人のことを考えながら、
夜空を見上げよう

悲しくなったら、大好きな歌を、大きな声でうたってみる
寂しくなったら、大好きな彼に電話をかけて、”I miss you, I love you”と言う
そして大好きな彼に逢ったら、10年分のHugをしてもらう

2009年は何があっても、立ち止まらずにちゃんと歩いていくんだ
涙が頬を何度もぬらしても、ちゃんと歩いていくんだよ
歩き続けたら、きっと素敵な虹をみることもある
素敵な人々に出逢うこともある

だから
悩みながらも歩いていこう
