Thinking About This Photograph

 This photo was taken in Monzennakacho, Koto-ku, Tokyo.

 Recently, I have been testing the “Sakagawa-type high-dilution high-definition developer“, which is a self-prepared developer, but I used PMK Pyro developer for the first time in a while.

 The PMK Pyro developer Solution B was used in the wrong amount, resulting in a soft finish.

 Most of the photos on this film roll didn’t look as good as I expected, but only this one frame did a good job.

 This photo also has a soft finish, but it creates a poetic atmosphere.

 The subject I took was “Yakitori Shosuke”, a long-established yakitori restaurant on the downtown street of Monzennakacho.

 This restaurant is famous for inventing a dish called “Tukupee”, which eats “Tsukune” (Japanese Chicken Meatballs) and raw peppers together.

 In Japan, there are dishes in which meat is stuffed and baked in peppers, but the combination of raw peppers and “Tsukune” is wonderful.

 The texture and taste of crispy peppers enhances the “Tsukune”.

 This restaurant is the location for the first episode of Season 1 of the famous Japanese gourmet TV drama “Kodokuno Gourmet”(Gourmet of loneliness).

 Instead of the front entrance of “Yakitori Shosuke”, I took a picture of the side wall.

 It’s a bit dirty, it’s also a garbage dump, and you can see the discreet electric sign and exhaust ducts.

 The white shining trash bag with only one placed was an impressive photo.

 There was only one decent photo per roll of film, but that was enough to save me.
