This year’s Beaujolais Nouveau is at least up to Vin de pays level. What a surprise… Last year’s was more like table wine (Vin de table)… Even so, the value for money is still poor̷…

I went to Chiba Ginza, near Chiba Station. It may be called Ginza -_-;; but it actually feels more like Harajuku or Shibuya than Ginza. All the photos were shot with the 77mm at f/1.8. The AF was a total mess,…
It’s already the season to start talking about summer.. Summer right after Golden Week, so I guess it’s time to get my short-sleeve shirts ready. Here are the photos I took today. I shot them with …
