Thinking About This Photograph

 This photograph was taken in Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

 I photographed a building of modern Japanese architecture in the quiet Higashi-Ginza area in the Ginza area.

 This building is surprisingly famous, and I sometimes see people taking pictures with their smartphones.

 The reverse letters of “Iwase Hiromi Shoten” indicate that it is more vintage.

 This is because in Japan before World War II, it was customary to write horizontal characters from right to left.

 I have never seen people come and go in this building, but when I see that the building is well managed, it seems that people are living even if the business is already closed.

 I’ve taken many photograph here, but I haven’t taken a satisfactory picture yet.

 Even if I change the film, change the exposure, change the developer, and change the development method, for some reason I can’t get the picture I envision.

 I don’t know why, but one day I want to take a satisfying photograph.

 By the way, next to this building, there is a Chinese restaurant called “Xie Xie Gourmet”.

 Although it is a delivery shop, I often use it because of its unusually fast delivery and delicious Chinese food suitable for Japanese people.
