Another year has passed since I returned from Japan. I got asked to go to Tokyo again. Unfortunately, I don't have any money to go. I needed to go part time at work for school and so I couldn't save any money. So what will I be doing for the summer instead of taking my annual trip? I'll be working on my craft.
I've been shooting a lot more since my first trip to Japan. I brushed the dust off my medium format camera and started to take pictures with it again. My photography professors used to tell me that I would enjoy using medium format because I'm all about the details in an image. They kept saying, "I want to see a bigger print." Since 35mm was so small, the details in a portrait would often have grain when the photos get enlarged to 11x14. Medium format negatives are much bigger, so this means that if I enlarge it, there's not gonna be much grain. Here are some portraits I took of my friends.
I'll be taking a lot more photos during the summer. Hopefully, I'll have enough money next summer to go back to Japan.
