*Lost in Translation*
Ricoh GR1 + Kodak T-Max 400
Sai Kung really is a place apart in Hong Kong. There are lots of stores there that would not survive anywhere else in Hong Kong, selling organic wine, or bulk foods with no packaging. As I was walking past this butchery store, I was struck by this Chinese man trying to decipher a French poster detailing beef cuts.
*Chinese Medecine*
Ricoh GR1 + Ilford FP4+
As we were wandering around in Sham Shui Po for the street photography workshop, I spotted this vertical sign for a Chinese Medecine store. There’s not a lot of good opportunities to do vertical compositions with the XPAN and I thought this was perfect. I waited a while for someone interesting to walk by, but no one did (I still shot two frames, but they’re crap). The irony is that 10 minutes later I went back with the GR1 and immediately got this shot, which I really like.
*Chopping Duck*
Ricoh GR1 + Ilford FP4+
This was my first roll with the Ricoh GR1, and I wasted some of it by not understanding how the snap mode works (it’s kind of a hyperfocal pre-focus) but in this instance it worked for me by focusing on the guy inside the window chopping roast duck rather than on the window itself. The unexpected bonus was the third focal plane of the reflection of the street coming out so well. Really like this.
