Photo Articles.

Japanese English

These articles cover photography on this site — film photographs, cameras, and the process behind them. I've always had a fondness for film, and the darkroom process for black-and-white is what I enjoy most. I haven't developed anything in a few years, but my go-to developer, R09, has become available again — so I'm hoping to write about film developing as well. Practicality isn't really the point for me; I shoot for pleasure, and that means Leica film cameras, Hasselblad, and the 6×6 format of the Rolleiflex. For digital, my M-series Leica is the main camera when I shoot for enjoyment.

Leica SL2-S

All photographs on this site are taken with the Leica SL2-S. At 24 megapixels the resolution is modest, but it is more than sufficient for web use — and the professional-grade image engine, excellent high-ISO performance, robust build, and manageable file sizes make it an exceptionally practical camera to work with.

Leica M3

An introduction to the Leica M3. In an age when smartphones let you take as many photographs as you like, there's something compelling about shooting on film — where exposure and focus are entirely manual, and each frame is made with care.
