Contax G1
Time and tide wait for no man, but cameras wait! Time flies, doesn’t it? Some cameras have been left behind by the times before they had a chance to keep up. I was instantly smitten with the Contax G1 the first time I laid eyes on it. And it’s not just the camera’s aesthetic appeal…

Reunited with Spring
Each spring, meeting again under the same tree. The same blue sky, the same tree, the same camera, the same flowers every year.

Street snaps without looking at the viewfinder
If you start street photography, all you can do is wait quietly until your hand gets used to the way a manual lens focuses. Without looking at the viewfinder, lock on 2 meters and press the shutter.

It is not my fault that I am sloppy.
From a distance, taking blurry pictures can be beautiful and emotional. From a distance, everything is beautiful. Most photographers are rigorous in their pictures. While I appreciate rigor and seriousness, my own photography is not as strict. I forgive myself for sloppy composition, as it allows me to truly enjoy the art of photography.
