🎞️expired yashica?
📍Kyoto, Japan
An inscribed pillar stands among some bushes and trees The sky is grey A crane wades in a pond that reflects the trees on the opposite bank The city as seen through a gap in the train station A barren tree sticks up and out in ever which way, in front of a pillar (likely the same pillar from before)

I took very poor notes for the first part of my trip but as this was likely 800 iso, it’s either Cinestill or lomography

Japan Film Roll 3
#BelieveInFilm
🎞️Nikon FE
📍Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo street at night All lit up with vertical signs I think it’s a famous street… Two short, humanoid robots hold iPods with advertisements … they look imploringly at the viewer Night More buildings with illuminated signs interspersed with all kinds of ramps (pedestrian and vehicular) A dark street with a slash of illuminated signs The tones are blue and white

🎞️ expired Tashica (I think)
📍Tokyo, Japan
The most around the emperors palace grounds It reflects the wall and the trees In the distance: office buildings Street lights and art if harajuku Star shaped art lights up above a dark street The classic “look a train in a train station” shot, looking down the platform But in Japan! The Tokyo skyline and if you squint you can see mt Fuji!

📍Tokyo

I didn’t take good notes for the first half of the trip so I forget what film this was!
A glass overpass over a highway A dark atrium with a circular opening over a flight of stairs Very brick very concrete Under a Tokyo overpass at night A car waits at a light The view of highway traffic at night from above Tokyo

Construction cranes tower over a Tokyo construction site A bare tree branch splits the frame of the buildings that rise at sibuya crossing A row of gashapon toy machines in front of a bridal shop (a white dress is at the edge of the frame) Ramps and stairs rise to an overpass near Glass buildings and sidewalks

📍Central Park NYC
Two food carts side by side A person nearby is rummaging through the trash can Behind it all: trees (it is Central Park after all) Turtles sunning themselves on a rock by a pond The spot of sun, rock and turtles are all in the lower left corner of the frame Everything else is water Shot across the great lawn toward the distant skyscrapers Framing the shot above are branches of overhanging tree branches In focus: a tree branch Out of focus: a pond and trees and even more distant: buildings

The obelisk / cleopatras needle in Central Park It juts up into the sky, carved with hieroglyphics The look along the front of a museum, a series of giant square umbrellas crates stripes of shadow A flag flies at half mast A camera crew with a big crane sets up a shot of the new façade commission, which is an elk wearing a cloak Across a pond at a castle in Central Park A couple ducks swim on the calm water

Shot along the shoreline, a rocky outcropping juts into the water the walkways railing goes into the distance in perspective A tree branch hangs overhead The hell gate bridge erupts from the left side of the frame arching over the footpath that recedes into the distance The underside of the hell gate bridge It’s blurry What is in focus are a spray of leafless tree branches The west side of the hell gate arches toward the right side of the frame

b&w diptych. left a concrete building with very big letters from a sign or something leaning against it reading 'silver', right an entranceway under a building with sign that says 'entrance' above. bright light beyond, you can just see the city in the distance
