Thinking About This Photograph

 This photograph was taken near “Ginza Blossom (Chuo Kaikan)” in Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

 I think this building corresponds to “Modern Japanese Architecture”.

 Modern Japanese Architecture refers to a Japanese architectural style that was built around the time of World War II, incorporating Western architectural techniques.

 I don’t know the year of completion, but it seems that the building was built before World War II.

 Looking at the appearance of this building, I feel that there is something different from the others.

 There is a modern architecture called “Hiromi Iwase Shoten” near this shooting location, which is also wonderful.

 There is a modern building called “Hiromi Iwase Shoten” built in 1929 near this shooting location, which is also wonderful.

 I think these are definitely good subjects that you’ll want to capture in film photography.

 The film roll on which this photograph was taken was developed with a self-prepared Sakagawa developer, but since it took the shortest development time in the development test, the contrast was a little insufficient.

 However, I think that the tone drawn by the wall could still be fully expressed.
