Table accessories - silk flowers, soya sauce and toothpicks
Table accessories – silk flowers, soya sauce and toothpicks.

This shot was taken with the Canon Powershot A610 while I was waiting for my food at the Restoran New Curry inside Taman Maluri Shopping Centre. I turned the dial to P, set ISO to 100, turned off the flash and fiddled with the white balance. This camera has been with me for four years and it was only recently that I started using the manual focus function. The result was better than I expected. I am slowly weaning myself away from using the Auto mode to learning to play with the manual settings.

Miniskirt In Winter

Posted on Friday, November 13, 2009

Miniskirt in winter at Takahatafudo Station
Miniskirt in winter at Takahatafudo Station.

January 2006. Takahatafudo Station, Hino-shi, Japan. It had snowed in Tokyo the week before – the first time in a couple of years. Temperature in the evenings were usually subzero. When the wind blew, the chill penetrated right to the bones even though I had four layers of clothing on. My nose bled. My ears froze. There were frostbites on my hands. I had removed the gloves to take some pictures. It was impossible to press the shutter button wearing them. I could not believe my eyes when I saw this young woman waiting at the train station in her winter jacket, miniskirt and boots. Miniskirt in that freezing cold? I was thoroughly impressed.
