Finally we moved into our new place yesterday. Lots of unpacking to do but I am excited to start exploring a new part of Tokyo. I found a great place simply called ‘The Bake Shop’ just a few minute walk from our house. Great coffee, food and atmosphere. I imagine I will be spending a lot of time here.
Today’s Configuration: FujiFilm x100. Leica M9 with a Summilux 21mm f/1.4 and 21mm viewfinder.
今日のカメラ：私のライカM９をつかいます。レンズはSummilux 21mm f/1.4と21mm viewfinderをつかいました。 FujiFilmx100もつかいます。
I had The Egg Plate. Hidden under the cheese is ratatouille. I was first taken back that they didn’t serve butter with the bread but after eating the bread I realized it is so good that it wasn’t needed.
I swung buy the post office to drop another shipment of Shoot Tokyo T-Shirts in the mail…
After a long day of packing and unpacking I decided to head out with my M9 and 21mm lens for a walk to see what Jiyugaoka has to offer…
Another coffee shop within a 3 minute walk…I’ll have plenty of fuel.
Much more lively than Nakameguro…
Jiyugaoka is full of these little streets. I imagine it will take me a while to learn all that Jiyugaoka has to offer…
Acid Panda Cafe…
Like I said’ lively’… I think I’ll enjoy my new home.
Japanese Word of the Day: こんにちは – Hello
example:
こんにちは自由が丘
Hello Jiyugaoka
Thanks and see you tomorrow!
