Friends.

Different then my previous posts I decided to post a few simple pictures of some friends, taken these past few weeks with my Contax T2 (Solaris 400). Below are some photos and descriptions if you have time please read it. I want you all to understand how these simple photo's are special to me, in addition to where I was when I took it and why I took these photos. Enjoy!

Alex Shin

This was taken at the school festival, I wanted to meet up with Alex but we didn't bump into each other until the end of the night. I took a quick shot because I didn't get to talk to him that day. Actually I haven't seen him since!

Shige

This was taken at Kamogawa on a friday night, it was the first time seeing Shige after 5 months away from Japan. His hairstyle changed and I wanted to remember this style. A few days later we had a takoyaki party at his place, reminds me of the good times!

Jackie ala Joe at Kamogawa

This was taken at Kamogawa as well, Jackie was rocking his Vivienne Westwood scarf, and mailing his targets via his broken iphone. This is a rare picture of Jackie since most of the time he doesn't stand still he's always laughing and jumping around, this time he was simply alone near the bridge on his phone. (I call this photo the Joey Kamogawa Pose)

JK Kaoru and Jackie 

 This photo was taken to show the similarity between Jackie and a fashionable high schooler (JK). She was Jackie's friend and she's called Kaoru, they both rocked the bob haircut. Kaoru plans to go to music school after high school and is currently a vocalist. She dyes her hair and dresses really fashionable unlike most japanese high schooler's that dress in a school uniform and have dark hair. She had no curfew that night and hung with us till late, quite an interesting person. 

cher and jackie

 My granddaughter was a bit drunk that night, and you can see Jackie rocking a corona. I promised not to post up this photo but it didn't come out as terrible as I imagined. It's quite a memorable photo. We had pocky that day and Kamogawa was really really cold that night. We asians drink alcohol and get the asian glow for those unfamiliar with it. 

I hope you enjoy the comments and photos. I'll be posting a special report on my friend's postrock band Signs and Wonder tomorrow so look forward to that!
