daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad

A couple more photos from way back in 1998. I took a day trip to Atami and walked around the area, taking photos. Actually, I’m not sure exactly where this was, but I am pretty sure I walked around there one day on my own.
I loved taking these small solo trips. So fun to just explore and wander around the area. A leisurely day for sure. ☺️

Today’s photo is of the sky this morning. It’s not a great picture, but I try to take at least a few photos every day. If nothing else, it keeps my muscle memory sharp! 🙂
I have been scanning in my old slide film from when I lived in Japan (1996-1999) and have been enjoying it quite a bit! I attribute the new-found enjoyment on my improved Lightroom skills. It’s a lot of fun recovering the images as best I can and it brings back a lot of good memories. I’m putting together an album of these images on Flickr so I’ll have them all in one location. Please take a look when you can!
Here are a couple recently edited photos:
I hope you had a nice Friday!

こんばんは。How’s it going?
Today I decided to take a break from taking photos, but I did get a bit of inspiration this evening and scanned some of my old slides.
These photos were taken with either my Minolta X-100 or my Minolta α507si on Fujifilm Velvia or Sensia (I edited the scans in Lightroom). When I lived in Japan, I loved roaming the city snapping photos. I can only imagine how many photos I would have taken if good digital cameras existed back then!
Shooting film was really great though. I enjoyed it a lot. Loading the film, taking the time to make more deliberate photos, and the anticipation when the film is at the lab was all part of the fun. I doubt I will go back to film, but I’m glad I had the experience.
I hope you had a nice Thursday.
おやすみ
Enjoy life. Be good to each other. ☺️

Today was grey and stormy. Although it is nice to have some rain, I am already wishing it were summer! And I wish I were on a tropical island somewhere… But still, stormy sunrises here in Texas can be nice too:
I hope you had a nice day!
I’ll admit, Monochrome May is turning out to be a difficult project!
Today’s photo is of a minidisc, which was a a hardware form-factor which used a proprietary Sony audio format. I used to love my minidisc player, and used it quite a bit. I sold that player long ago, but still have all my old minidiscs, including this special edition Utada Hikaru “Red Hot” version. I don’t even remember what is on this one. But I love the design. 😄
Hope you had a nice Monday!
🎶 Have a wonderful Monday!
