...and the list goes on and on ...


As I recently warned you readers about (by recently I mean the Post that I posted a few minutes ago) here is more picture from my little Russian friend Lomo LC-A+.

I am a bit behind with my bloggings so these pictures are from last Thursday and Friday I think.

Thursday we met up with Mattias to go to an artshow opening for our friend Crystals Kappa show. We went for some Indian food before we headed to the Ghetto. By The Ghetto I don't mean some hooood but the name of a place in Shinjuku that houses a bit of everything and everybody. There is artshows, a bar, dj, I think the have a koncert there now and then, Stores with collectible toys, an indoor skateramp and it is also a place where Mattias and his "gang" of philosophying bikeriders hang out. Back to the story. oh yes...artshow...there was a nice collection of different tattooers version of the charming creature Kappa. Our friend Nico from Holland was In Japan as well visiting Crystal so he was there as well. It seems like we have to meet in Japan since non of us have time to meet anywhere else in the world even though our Countries isn't THAT far from each other. So see you next time you're in Japan buddy!
Mattias showed us one of the bike-maniacs own creation, a double bike. Yes...well...it's kinda a bike with an extra bike frame welded on top of that...well just see the picture below of Mattias riding this monstrosaty. Did I mention that it doesn't have any gears or breaks what so ever? Nothing! Madness...

The next day Mattias came to Koenji to go eat dinner with us at the infamous Osaka Pizza place but I already kinda blogged about that.

More pictures soon...I am trying to catch up with the days past. Tomorrow a day of...don't know what we will do with it...maybe blog about the fun things we have been doing the last couple of days.

I forgot that I was shooting an 400 asa film and not a 1600 so the pictures didn't turn out quite as as I wanted them to but here they are anyway. At least it is some form of documentation.



Our own Swedish meatball, Mattias

I love their small houses that looks like half of them are missing and that by the way has been there way before the rest.

Jaaaa det er lidt noget andet end den lille hobby togbane vi har i Danmark.

Lisa, Jeg kan love dig for at jeg aldrig så meget som vil overveje at købe et kamera i Danmark mere. Alene på 5D II sparer man OVER 6000 danske kr på det fra nyt.

Tao:

Thank you! I understand you fine. I am glad that you like my blog so you will link to it. Thanks!

Onkel!!! Jeg har et spørsmål som jeg håper du kan ta deg tid til å svare på:S Kryssfremkaller du flesteparten av LC-A+ bildene du tar? Jeg liker veldig godt fargene på Lomo bildene dine:D

Uncle Allan said...

Nej de fleste billeder er bare fremkaldt normalt eftersom det kan være svært at finde nogen der vil krydsfremkalde. Så alle billeder fra Japan er bare fremkaldt hos den lokale foto butik. Der står som regel hvilken film jeg har brugt og nogle af dem er nogle specielle lomo farvenegativ film.

Have fun!
