Since I was young I always thought that if you weren’t off the beaten path then you weren’t traveling right. Why go to see something you already knew about and have seen a million pictures of? Why stand shoulder to shoulder with a thousand tour groups when there are adventures to go on?

I really liked Ilford 3,200 at 3,200 but I was curious to push it and see what happened. I don’t know if I like it. Some of the shots are cool, but some are too noisy. It seems like the exposure latitude is really narrow when pushing to such high speeds. But it let me hand hold in some really poor light, so that’s cool.

Its hard to believe its been so long since Hideto died. He’s my hero, he’s how I ended up doing what I’m doing. He started my path towards photography and led me to Japan and to my friends. I’m not going to write another eulogy. I hope he’s at peace.
I wrote this for a newspaper last fall: “Legendary J-Rock star lives on through fans”.
Last fall I went out to visit his memorial which you can check out the photos here.

Legally, Harajuku is actually in Shibuya. Harajuku station and Shibuya station are one after another and its really walking distance if you aren’t in any hurry.
