Soba Noodle

Japanese people traditionally eat soba noodles on New Year’s Eve. Why? I don't know. I ate it today….Happy New Year!

Mr.Chand and His 150-year Old Camera

I had my photo taken on the street in Jaipur. The camera was 150-year old!!!!! Mr.Tikam Chand owns an 1860 Carl Zeiss wooden camera which his family has been using for daily duties since past three decades! The body of the camera is made of wood and has a focus set, a German Carl Zeiss lens and a dark room all built in it! It’s the only piece left of its kind in the world. Amazing!!! The processing is done right in there on the street, and is finished in just a few minutes. The photos are beautiful in a way you'll never get with a new camera. I'll treasure my black and white photos for the rest of my life!!!
散々探しまくって、ついに見つけました！150年前の木製カールツァイスカメラとティカムおじさん！！このカメラで撮ってもらうためにジャイプールへ来ました。３年前に新聞記事でこの路上フォトグファーのことを知って、ぜひ撮って欲しいと思っていたのです。とにかく古すぎてすごい。今もちゃんと使えてるのがもっとすごい！！

 路上で繰り広げられる一連の現像プロセス。アナログすぎてすごい。

The image inside the camera is upside down! and there's a bucket for rinsing!
カメラの中をのぞくと、イメージが反転しております。そしてバケツの水で洗うのです。

I got my negative and positive!
ネガとポジ、出来ました！新聞紙に包んでくれます^^

Lotus and Water lily

This is the difference between lotus and water lily!
蓮と睡蓮の違い。蓮は水面から伸びて育ち、根っこがレンコン。睡蓮は水面に浮かんでいて、根っこは一かたまりになっています！

Map of Siem Reap

Siem Reap is located in northwest Cambodia and is famous for the temples of Angkor. The days I spent there were absolutely amazing! I was fascinated by the beauty of Angkor Wat and the enigmatic faces of Bayon temple! Beautiful lotus flowers and water lilies are everywhere! BTW, do you know the difference between a lotus and a water lily?? :)))) I hadn't known that before I visited Cambodia!
アンコールワットの町、カンボジアのシェムリアップ。いたるところ蓮と睡蓮だらけ。蓮と睡蓮の違い、知っていますか？？実は結構違う植物。私はちっとも知りませんでした。。。
