Tokyo via AE-1

It’s my last day in Japan, so it’s gonna be a short post. Short as in few words, that is, cause pictures i have, and lots of them!
We’re having a pretty amazing day actually. The weather is great, we’ve had time to shop for the last few things, and pack, and eat good food, and drink fancy warm beverages, and generally just enjoy Tokyo and each other. And there’s no stress. We’re checked into our flight and we have nowhere we need to be. Perfect.
Earlier this afternoon i had my second film developed (yay for same day service, something that does not exist in Copenhagen anymore) and it turned out pretty great!
The first film was in black and white, and i only have the negatives from that one (picked those up today too, elsewhere in Tokyo) so it’ll be a while longer before i can make prints of those in our lab, and then hopefully, if any of them are any good, scan them and post them on the blog. 
Phew. All that for a few pictures!
But the second one is here for your viewing pleasure!
I used a natura 1600 film, not because i have a clue if that’s any good or not, but because i know Ai uses that film sometimes, and her pictures are always gorgeous. Mine aren’t gorgeous yet, but you can tell it’s a great camera and once we get to know each other a little better, i think there’s gorgeousness potential.

 I totally knew that guy ruined my shot, but this is Tokyo, you can’t ask it to stand still while you focus

 Tofu

 And more tofu

Those were my favorites, but except for three grainy taken-inside-a-dark-restaurant shots, i could have posted all of them and not been completely embarrassed.
Total win!

Blog you later from Denmark, y’all!
