Figaro’s Barbershop in Lisbon captures the spirit of classic grooming with a storefront that feels like a step back in time. Its bold gold-lettered window proudly references the styles of the 1920s, 1930s, 1950s, and 1960s, making it a beacon for lovers of retro design and timeless elegance. Nestled in a traditional Baixa building with weathered yellow plaster and stone-framed windows, the shop blends local architecture with old-world charm. Details like the hand-painted signage, geometric stonework, and textured façade evoke Lisbon’s layered history, where every corner reveals traces of both modern life and centuries of craftsmanship.
A timeless portrait of precision and design.
This macro shot of the legendary Yashica MAT-124 reveals the elegance of Twin Lens Reflex engineering. Produced in Japan between 1968 and 1971, this medium format camera (6x6) was built for 120 and 220 film, featuring a coated 4-element Yashinon 80mm f/3.5 lens and a Copal SV shutter with speeds from B to 1/500s. The textured body, reflected in glossy black light, evokes nostalgia and craftsmanship. With its match-needle CdS exposure meter and ingenious mechanical layout, the MAT-124 remains a portrait camera icon – a tribute to analog mastery.
Welcome to Kabukicho Ichiban-gai, the iconic gateway to Tokyo’s most vibrant entertainment district. This unmistakable red arch, adorned with retro-style neon lights and bold Japanese characters, serves as a cultural and architectural landmark. The bright red design juxtaposes modern Tokyo’s sleek, high-rise buildings and reflects Kabukicho’s lively energy as the “Sleepless Town.” The signage warns visitors that smoking on the street is prohibited, a nod to Tokyo's meticulous city planning and emphasis on urban cleanliness.
Originally developed after World War II, Kabukicho was named for a planned kabuki theater that was never built. However, its name lives on, and the area flourished into a hub of entertainment, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with ultra-modern urban design. The Ichiban-gai entrance stands as a symbolic welcome to a world of eclectic adventures, from izakayas and karaoke to late-night ramen shops and vibrant nightlife.
Framing the entryway are modern glass-front buildings, such as the one on the left featuring geometric patterns, contrasting sharply with the bold, colorful advertising to the right. This architectural mix highlights the district’s adaptability, fusing cutting-edge design with the neon-drenched nostalgia of mid-20th-century Tokyo. The narrow streets beyond the arch hold endless treasures, including hidden alleyways brimming with culinary delights and niche bars.
Kabukicho Ichiban-gai is more than an entertainment district—it’s a testament to Tokyo’s ability to evolve while retaining its unique character. Whether you’re here for a night of exploration or simply soaking in the atmosphere, this dynamic entryway sets the tone for the unforgettable experiences that lie ahead.
The Suburban Diner was recently completely renovated. I took this with my Fujifilm Instax 210 instant camera
I get quite a few views on my Instax 210 pics from people searching for 'how to take a picture on an Instax 210'. Here are a few tips on how I take pictures on my Instax 210. Hope it helps!
1. You will get best results on a clear and bright day. The fuji film is great on a well lit scene and the saturated colors will come through.
2. What you see through the viewfinder is less of the scene than what will print (see note on this shot) Update - you may have to refresh the page to see the note. Take a step forward after composing.
3. This camera is equipped with a wide angle lens so wide scenes look best. Bridges, stores, landscapes etc are great subjects. Close up portraits, not so much.
4. Set the distance to 3m-∞ (infinity), the default is 0.9-3m, so press the button on the side once to change it if your subject is further than 3m (9ft) away from you.
5. Set the L/N/D button to D (darken) if it is sunny. The default is N (normal), so press that button twice to change it to darken. Look at the arrows in the LCD display to check that step 4 and 5 have been completed and then take the picture by depressing the shutter button.
So, there you go! It's a fun camera, so have fun with it! B&H in NYC are retailing these for $60 and the film (pack of 20) for $14.50 as of Nov 2012. Not so bad.
Located in a strip mall on Roswell Road, HENRI’S is celebrating its 90th year in business. Great pastries, pricey, but the service, while efficient is decidedly not very friendly. Sorry, but the last few visits strongly suggest the latter.
