During my trip to Japan I found it very difficult approaching strangers to ask if I could take their photograph.
This was for a few reasons, the main one being I find it very difficult to do this wherever I am, even though I've been at this so long.
I had also been told by one of my hosts that culturally taking images of people on the street may be deemed more rude than I am used to and as ever I didn't want to cause upset.
I think though I took this as the perfect excuse to not try as hard and push myself.
On my last night in Tokyo I was in Shibuya, on the search for a clothing shop with Japanese denim in mind. I decided I was in need of a drink and I'd become fond of these lemon beers that have a lemon slice in the can (mad I know).
So I decided to go into a convenience store and as I did, I passed a small group of young guys outside with skateboards. As I walked by I noticed they were all smoking ( I had been trying to not cave and smoke) and they were all very well dressed, incredibly stylish and laughing with each other.
I wanted to ask to take a photograph but I bottled it and went right into the shop..
Inside the shop I was scanning the aisles and telling myself that it was my last evening and that if they were still outside I needed to ask. If not for the image but for my own personal wellbeing as I would be upset with myself for not trying.
As you can see, I asked.
Unfortunately I've lost this guy's details so if you're seeing this (I think we followed each other) send me a message and I'll send over the High-Res files 😊

'Lunch Hour'
Shots taken: 24/03/25
I spotted this man having some downtime on what I assume was his lunch break. By the time I'd wandered around him to the other side of the 'lake' he was still enjoying the calmness of the water and I envied his stillness.

Image 2: Cathedral Cave, Eigg.
Shot taken: 31/07/25.
Both images shot using Illford Delta on Mamiya C33.
You may notice white spots in the shadows on this image. This is where the negative has either been exposed to high temperatures, a manufacturing issue or has been improperly developed, this defect is called mottling.
Illford recalled some batches of 120 film so I've put in a claim. You get a better look at this on the last image which also happens to be a silhouette in a cave on a different island.
I actually quite like the effect on these two images, I think this is because on both of these trips (Lewis & Eigg), I saw some of the best starry skies that I've ever seen. It may also be because I love Star Wars. Star Trek and the 90's/early 00's show Stars in Your Eyes. Don't tell Ilford 🤫.
