Thinking About This Photograph

 This photograph was taken at the beginning of the “The Other Side of Tokyo Japan” project.

 This is one of the photos that I started to notice the goodness of “the photo on the back side”.

 It’s a plain landscape behind the building, but I felt something and took this picture.

 This is the back door of a Chinese restaurant, and I sometimes see Chinese restaurant employees smoking and taking a break, or lying down on a table and resting.

 The film development in this photograph is developed with “Sakagawa-type high-dilution high-definition developer“, which is a self-prepared developer.

 Most of the photos in this project are film-developed with “PMK Pyro Developer“.

 However, since “PMK Pyro developer” is not available in Japan, “Sakagawa developer” that can be prepared with only chemicals that are easily available in Japan is useful.

 I hope you can see the goodness of this developer by looking at this picture.
