I recently started to process my own film. I’m tempted to add “again” to the end of that sentence, but in reality I’ve done little processing in my life, just a few rolls in school, and a couple of rolls a few years ago in an ultimately aborted attempt to start processing.

Here’s a new series shot in Tokyo’s Kanda-Jimbocho, often called the largest book market in the world due to the high concentration of new and secondhand bookstores one can find there.

This particular shop, in Nakano (one of Tokyo’s “Ramen Towns” apparently), is called Aoba and my wife confirms that it is indeed famous and consistently in the top 10 of ramen establishments.

I’ve put together a small gallery of photos showing some of what I’ve been working on the past few months.
