Tokyo, Japan

 

I started taking photos regularly since September 2008, focusing on the film photography (and digital, sometime).

Kazuyuki-san is a master in his craft- amplifying ordinary subjects to another realm and time. The calm yet intelligent perception images filled me with wonders and questions.. How can one ignore this? One of the best here, undoubtedly.

There's always seems to have a story behind the photos, I like the way you stick with film most of the time and also choosing to use older lenses. There is just something about older lenses, not only they will let in much light but also their quality, not in sharpness but just the feeling and the texture of film photography which is mesmerising. Nowadays we seems to be continually being lost into the world of sharpness and quality, we are beginning to loose the fundamental quality of photography which is the story itself. You can still find f1.2 lens from nikon and canon, but the quality and colour produce by these lenses just feels different, and somethings I feel overly sharp. Thanks for reminding us of the wonders of old lenses, I've started using my minolta md/mc lenses again ^^, they work wonders ^^
