TOKYO ART BOOK FAIR 2021-3

Held for the first time in two years、Participation as TOTEM POLE PHOTO GALLERY is the first time in four years, TOKYO ART BOOK FAIR。The number of people infected with the new coronavirus in Japan continues to increase even after this year's event is decided.、8More than 5,000 people are infected daily in Tokyo in a month。At one point the event was in jeopardy、Fortunately, the number of infected people has been declining since summer.、It was sunny and safe。I like art in Tokyo、I think it was a long-awaited event for those who like art books.。Of course, the exhibitors have the same feelings.。Exhibitor quota is half of the average year as an infection control measure this year、The number of visitors was limited to about 1000 per day, and reservations were required (By the way, it seems that the number of visitors in 2019 was 35,000.、1/10(Around the number of visitors)。Well、Because it is held on a reduced scale like that、We don't really count on sales、I participated with the intention of fully enjoying the atmosphere of the book fair after a long absence。There were many times when the number of people decreased due to the complete replacement system each time.、I think the time limit of 2 hours and 15 minutes each time was short for the visitors.。Even so, the volunteer members of TPPG actively serve customers.、I was in good communication with the visitors who came to the booth.。Partly because of the results、Although it was only a little short when I participated last time、There was sales that could be said to be a good fight under the conditions of this event.。And above all、With people I met at past fairs、I'm glad I was able to meet again here。With the organizer who took perfect infection control measures and managed to hold the event、Thank you for visiting and purchasing.。 To TPPG members、Own publisher “STAIRS PRESS” Exhibit from。 Former TPPG member Yuuo Hishinuma is a unit with Kazuto Ishikawa, a former instructor. “Let’s be Human” Exhibited as。 An avant-garde concept booth where you don't know what you're selling。 Mr. Fujio Kito of "park playset" encountered at various book fairs。I bought several books of Arimoto before。 And the number one encounter rate at book fairs in Japan and overseas “T&M Projects” Tomomi Matsumoto of。When I meet him, I realize that I've come to the book fair!。 Toshiya Murakoshi, a photographer who was with me at a special exhibition at the National Museum of Modern Art。”murakoshi toshiya factory” Exhibit as a volunteer。 “murakoshi toshiya factory” Photographer Seiji Kumagai also participated from。On the final day, he became a painter Kumagai and healed the people around him.。 And we TPPG booth。The members who keep the store, Yo Sakamoto and Yang。Customer service wearing self-made T-shirts for product sales。Overall black。 Kaoru Osuka, a new member of TPPG who is in a good mood with handmade ZINE selling。23I'm a year old rookie。 TPPG member Takai was asked to shoot at the TABF venue just before.、I couldn't serve customers very much。Working field。 Besides, 2019 “UNFOLD Shanghai Art Book Fair” Together “RONDADE” Sakuma-san、Paris “Polycopies” Dutch publisher with us at “The Eriskay Connection” And Spanish “Anomalous Editions” …

Hierodula patellifera 2021

Blue sky over typhoon。This season、Insects living in the grass become more active、It's easy to capture because it pops up on the cycling road without warning.。The same is true for predators、I witnessed several times when I was beaked by a crow and danced in the air.。This Hierodula patellifera also walked in the middle of the cycling road without exception.。Don't be run over by other bicycles、Also, don't use it as food for crows、I'll return it to the grass。Before that, I loved it with my palm a little and took a picture with iPhone。Mantis is a very familiar insect to humans。

BROMPTON M6R (Black Lacquer/Black Edition)

For me who doesn't have a driver's license、Bicycles are also one of the finest photography equipment。I often use my bicycle when I go to Shinjuku to shoot、Extremely convenient without traffic jams for commuting to a photography school or visiting exhibitions in Tokyo。Just own “Colnago C40” Is a binding pedal, so it was a little difficult to walk after getting off the bicycle.。That's why I bought last year with flat pedals so I can ride it easily. “CANNONDALE BAD BOY 1” was。However, BAD BOY has a belt drive and internal shifting.、Because it is a special specification called left-handed fork、Both front and rear wheels are difficult to remove、Rinko (moving a bicycle on a train) is virtually impossible。I used to use the C40 when traveling around, such as when shooting in Okutama.、Since overhauling in the corona vortex、I've come to be confused even if my attachment is a little scratched。So these days I've been using it exclusively for round trips on cycling roads。In the first place, traveling on a road bike takes time and effort.、Loading capacity is almost equal to zero、It is necessary to devise to carry the shooting equipment。 Well, the introduction has become longer,、As a means to solve the above problem、Folding bike “BROMPTON” Was newly introduced。It's a bicycle with a high degree of hobby to use as practical equipment、It's not cheap shopping, so I had a lot of trouble until I bought it.、As a result, it was a very good purchase。The first thing that is excellent is the feeling of size when folded according to the reputation。Within 60 cm in length and width、This is a little bigger than the photographic paper of Daizen paper。The depth is 28 cm, which makes it surprisingly compact.。I brought it into the store several times when I had a meal、It feels like a little big baggage, so there is no sense of discomfort.、I wasn't blamed by the clerk。In terms of weight, it will be incomparably larger than a road bike,、Rinko is very easy due to its compactness and ease of folding。It only takes a minute or two to fold it and store it in a rinko bag.。The essential driving performance is、I didn't expect it at all because it's the weight mentioned above and it's a 16-inch small wheel bike.、It feels like I was disappointed in a good way。The flexibility of the iron frame combined with the upright position will not make you tired even if you ride for a long time.、The gear ratio with a fairly wide ratio makes it run comfortably regardless of road surface conditions and slopes.。To be clear, I can't get the speed、Very suitable for running slowly with a camera。And BROMPTON's unique front carrier system is easier to use than expected.。You can attach and detach the dedicated bag with one touch、Since the carrier block is attached to the head tube、Handling is stable even with heavy shooting equipment。Especially this hot season、It was the comfort of the scales from the eyes that freed me from the stuffiness of the backpack.。Also serves as a test run last week、I ran to Okutama while shooting about 50km。I can run at this distance without any problems.、I was a little scared when I got on the steep descent in Okutama.。 Now I have three bicycles in a small room、BROMPTON occupies almost no place, so there is no problem。 ≫ Brompton Japan official website

The most beautiful woman in Okutama

It followed hot days。It seems that even the brain miso can be tossed。 I met a beautiful woman with strong eyesight by the side of Oume Kaido。Did you feel frustrated because you didn't take many pictures of people lately? Forgetting that it was a scarecrow, it was exciting、I used to shoot until I was satisfied with the number of cuts by changing the angle, distance, and exposure.。The appearance may have seemed bizarre to passers-by。The expression is a little stiff、I'm proud that I was able to take a good picture。
