* Shimokitazawa, Deli and Baking (世田谷区北沢２－２９－２ - with a map here: http://yj.pn/zRY9sN).
* Sunday, March 27.
* 11:00.
* Quiet walk afterwards if weather OK, or not as the case for some of us who care not about getting cold or wet.

Map to follow for anyone interested. ありがと。Skj.

I can happily say that I will be there! And I will be walking and shooting, rain or shine!

Same bakery as last time I assume? Nice little place...gotta get some more Village Vanguard action in, as well.

I'll see you all there (I wish).

I have been going to Tokyo at least once a year for half a decade so hopefully I will be able to join one of these someday. I'd have to bring my GOOSE.

Will customs let you through with a bird under your arm?

Skorj · « **Reply #5 on:** February 28, 2011, 11:13:40 AM »

Well, I'll have my GOOSE with me this day, so you'd be in good company...

Customs in Japan are so easy. You say something funny to them in Japanese, say that you have been in the country many times, put a good kid smile, and they let you through.

OTOH when I come back home in London (I usually travel every week or every two weeks) and they flag me down they seem to be pretty pissed off when they don't find anything that I am importing illegally.

last time to japan i had 4 oddball cameras in my backpack and i didn't even get a second look. though when i went to indiana last month i had to pull my 190 out because they couldn't tell what it was in xray...

Sorry for derailing the topic but speaking of Tokyo, have you guys ever met the crazy Nikon guy in Shinjuku? I have seen him a few times already in different trips. Mid to late 40s, white hair and glasses. He's got that "Japanese photographer" look, if you know what I mean!

I have always met him either around Yodobashi or Kitamura, or at the other side near ALTA. He looks at my F3HP and repeats "YES! YES! Nikon namba one!" to himself while walking away. Apparently he loves Nikon F3 so much that he's got a number of bodies that he shoots every day, though funny enough, I have never seen the cameras! (Though he always carries what looks like a camera bag).

wblati · « **Reply #9 on:** February 28, 2011, 03:34:35 PM »

bet theres no camera in that bag...

if you see him again - ask if you can see his setup - or his collection.

CamerAsian · « **Reply #10 on:** March 10, 2011, 02:42:01 AM »

Skorj, I'll hopefully be there. Is the place hard to find? As for the Nikon guy, I agree, he's probably an "air photographer."

It depends on how well you know Shimo. Hopefully the map makes sense? Regardless, please drop us an email, and I can give you my keitai... See you there! Skj.

Skorj · « **Reply #12 on:** March 19, 2011, 02:13:29 AM »

Confirming, we have five or six participants for next week's brunch! Should be good fun, especially as the weather is warming up nicely, so the walk looks attractive too. See you all next week! Skj.

moominsean · « **Reply #13 on:** March 21, 2011, 01:04:34 PM »

Boarding, on my way to Tokyo! Will see whomever shows up for brunch soon...

mijonju · « **Reply #14 on:** March 23, 2011, 12:14:36 PM »

Zen-Foto in Roppongi is holding a fundraiser tomorrow (Fri) and Sat for the quake appeal. Good photography at good prices for a good cause. Please come and please forward this to your friends in Tokyo.

A great day. Thanks all! Photographs to follow I am sure! Here's one:

A man who told us he had been cutting hair here since he was sixteen.

Glad it all went off well. Looking forward to seeing photos....and I trust that Sean shot some movie footage for a future 'cast?

moominsean · « **Reply #18 on:** March 27, 2011, 11:11:32 AM »

Haha no I was busy taking pictures. Mijonju got some footage. Maybe I'll get some stuff in wahoo!

I agree with Mojave... really like the look, they're looking great!

Suzi Livingstone · « **Reply #24 on:** March 29, 2011, 02:15:44 PM »

The black frame is nice, but I prefer the classic white..

moominsean · « **Reply #25 on:** March 29, 2011, 03:02:04 PM »

Will be in tokyo for another week, so no shots posted from the brunch from me for awhile.

Like what I see from others!

Roger!

A pile of books perhaps as old as the house in which they live. Polaroid 600SE 75mm, with expired Type-665. A great day! When's the next one! Skj.

Mojave · « **Reply #29 on:** March 30, 2011, 02:04:10 PM »

Is that more TIP color film? Im assuming it is and I love it!!! I might just have to get a few packs after all.

Love Skorj's 665 shots!

jojonas~ · « **Reply #30 on:** March 30, 2011, 02:10:53 PM »

Here we come, walking down the street...we get the funniest looks from everyone we meet!

A couple shots of some filmwasters from the morning! Still have barely scratched the surface with my scanning.

Mojave · « **Reply #34 on:** April 13, 2011, 02:37:13 PM »

That's Cory's army Speed Graphic with the Aero Ektar featured in another thread.

Here is my window shot. I thought I was shooting color film! And a shot of the brunchers, minus me.
