I've finally started scanning more of my pinhole shots from Japan.  Here are two of Jizo statues from the Zōjō-ji Temple in Tokyo.  Both were shot with a Zero 2000 medium format pinhole camera with Kodak Ektar 100 film.

Hello Darkroom, My Old Friend

I've been taking another hiatus from the blog this August, mostly due to a large geographical distance between myself and my scanner.  However, I have been able to rent darkroom time this summer, something that is not available where I currently live.  Hooray for color darkroom rentals!  I hope to have scans posted by some time in September, and I might even have prints available for sale.

I was lucky that my visit to Kyoto happened to fall on the 25th of the month, when they have an excellent flea market at Kitano Tenman-gū Shrine.  Plenty of crafts, antiques, and food plus a visit to the shrine.

All photos were shot with a Zero 2000 medium format pinhole camera on Ilford Delta 100 film.

Itsukushima, Japan

Deer on Miyajima, 2013

Miyajima 2, 2013

I processed my first roll of film from my Japan trip.  These were shot on Itsukushima Island, home of tame deer and the famous Itsukushima Shrine and torii gate.  All were shot with a Zero 2000 Medium Format pinhole camera with Kodak TMax 100 film.  Stay tuned to this space for pinhole photos of the shrine, which will hopefully be processed and scanned at some point this summer.

Zarautz Low Tide

Zarautz Low Tide, 2013

Shot with a Zero 2000 medium format pinhole camera on Ilford Delta 100 film.  Improperly mixed film developer (oops) led to some interesting streaky effects.
