You also have to show the action of placing one hand above the other.

Sean Breslin @seanbreslin.bsky.social · 5d

Point little finger and thumb outwards at 45° angles horizontally to create a reversed 八 which you can pronounce as the や. Then do the same with the other hand to make another one and you have two や’s (x2 = 倍/ばい). Place one hand on top of the other and you have ヤバい

Also the way they came up with the 手話 for ヤバい is genius.

My daughter goes to a school for the hard of hearing. She taught me the sign language for ヤバい and it’s a joy to use.

Lomochrome Color ’92 – Fat Roll

Last week, while walking a short section of the Nakasendō, I took along my grandfather’s Kodak Cresta that I have talked about before. The camera lived up to expectations, but the film, Lomoc…

Used grandfather's old Kodak Cresta with Lomo Colour '92. The camera was fine (shot Kodak before with good results), but this film suffered from 'fat roll' - doesn't roll tight enough, causing light leaks. A waste of money :-( Sticking to Ilford or Kodak from now on.

The Nakasendō – Ena to Nakatsugawa

Four years already? Was that how long it had been since I'd walked this section of the Kisoji/Nakasendō? (It was December 19th, 2021). Pandemic times. Not another soul in sight back then.

In 2012 I went to the faultline for a walk with two cameras and two rolls of film.

Hazama Fudoson – Seki

We used to live just down the road in Inuyama, which meant I often cycled up and over the Kagamigahara Alps on routine bike rides, right past Hazama Fudouson (迫間不動尊) in Seki, Gifu prefecture.

The Kodak Brownie Cresta

My grandfather owned a Kodak Brownie Cresta, and although it was a fairly inexpensive camera, he kept it in immaculate condition.

Aston Villa v Newcastle United

Every time I'm in the UK visiting family, I try to get to a Villa game to reminisce about my childhood, when I used to stand in the Holte End with my dad most Saturday afternoons.
