Decided to go out to shoot with my Fuji XE1 (owned since 2012), to see whether it still holds that magic of the Xtrans 1, given the latest iteration XE5 just announced a few weeks ago. All the shots are taken on the same day with Fuji XE1 and XF 35 1.4 version. which I will share over the next few days. This is for people who are curious about the early days Fujifilm which seems to see a revival of interest... which I can understand why, that color scheme which seems to elude the subsequent Xtrans versions, which I do have a couple. I immediately noticed the Standard Provia in the Xtrans 1 just capture the shades of green so well unlike the Xtrans 2 and so on, it is so natural. The overall color scheme is just right and the B&W too.
I have posted 2 versions of this picture in color and B&W. The editing are done using the in camera built-in processing features.

Are you unsure if it is really worth the trouble?
Look at the sky: that is for you.
Look at each person's face as you pass them on the street: those faces are for you.
And the street itself, and the ground under the street, and the ball of fire underneath the ground: all these things are for you. They are as much for you as they are for other people.
Remember this when you wake up in the morning and think you have nothing.
Stand up and face the east.
Now praise the sky and praise the light within each person under the sky.
It's okay to be unsure.
But praise, praise, praise.
