Thinking About This Photograph

 This photograph was taken in Nihonbashi-Ningyocho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

 I took a photograph in the alley where “Yoshiwara Yukaku” used to be in Nihonbashi-Ningyocho.

 The wall of this building is the side wall of the liquor store, and a beer case and a trash can for waste collection are placed under the bay window.

 Since this alley is not wide enough for cars to pass through, I think that the shop staff will put this trash can on the main street “Omon-dori” when a garbage collection car arrives.

 The walls have a mortar finish and some cracks have been repaired, but they remain beautiful despite the years.

 I think that the texture of the mortar wall is also clearly shown in the photograph.

 When shooting in alleys, it is often dark all the time, and I want to narrow down the aperture as much as possible, so I always have to be careful about camera shake, but this photograph seems to have managed to suppress camera shake.

 The sensitivity of the film I’m using is as low as ISO80, but I often think that I should use ISO400 film, but I hesitate because I can’t express the texture with high-sensitivity film.

 However, I’m thinking of testing the Rollei RETRO 400S once.

 I would like to report again when good development data is obtained.
