I got my films and photos back and developed & printed, for the most part they were damned. 4 of the 9 rolls were those I took in early december, photos of autumn leaves. The rest I took these 3 months, most of which were of old towns on cloudy or rainy days. Much of a cliche. I had attached my 50 mm lens but I regret I didn't brought the 35 mm (or 28mm) lens. Some photos have a bit intrusive impression, and make me realize I'm kind of stalled. I need some fresh air!
仕上がって戻ってきた写真フィルム9本分。うち、4本は紅葉(笑)。そうか、あの頃は晴れた日にけっこう撮ってたんだー。その後3ヶ月分はほとんどが曇りか雨の日に撮ってる。雨も悪くない、と思ったのだけど、冬の天気の良くない日の写真は空にあまり表情もなく、なんだかのっぺらとした印象のような・・・思惑とは違う結果。それにずっと50mmをツケッパなのもよくなかった。35mm、レンズがでかくてつい置いてけぼり、でも好きな画の感じは35mmかなぁ・・・。この3ヶ月あまりの写真を見ると、50ミリはちょっと押し付けがましい印象。行き詰まり感がそのまま写真に出てる、ような。うーん。
写真をざっと見ながらいろいろ振り返るうちに、何処か行きたい!此処じゃないどこか遠いところ、写真を撮りまくりたい、違う空気の質感や色に浸りたい、ほんの2、3日でいいから!という欲求が押し寄せる。次は久しぶりにレンズをいろいろ持っていこうかな。もちろん、ポラロイドも!行くあてや計画は今のところまったくないけれど、想像すると気持ちがふわり浮いてきた。

ReplyDeleteThanks:) In fact I don't find this photo a chliche, but in the rest there are lots of damn photos;D Well, I guess that is the driving force: make mistakes, then try to get better:) That's why we never get tired of taking photos:))
Let's hope our hope will be realized:)

I also love to try different cuisine, too! A journey really expands our horizons in many ways, doesn't it? :)
