Chrysochroa fulgidissima

On the rooftop of a photography school where I serve as an instructor、Captured the Yamato jewel beetle during a smoking break。A form that helped the place where the sparrow was about to beak。I've seen several places flying in Inokashira Park near my home and the riverbed of the Tama River.、I've also found dead bodies and scabbards、I think I've caught a living jewel beetle since I was in elementary school。Beautiful colors and luster that will always be horrifying。I was in a darkroom class、Put it in the plastic case of "lens cleaning paper" that you had at hand and watch it for a while、To brag to the students。After that, if you take it to the roof again、After walking around my palm for a while、I flew high in the sky of Ichigaya Yonbancho。Minazuki、A little mysterious event。 By the way, the small foil stamping of the photo book "Tokyo Debugger"、Reproduces the color and luster of the pods of the Yamato jewel beetle。

Although it is an annual location on Mt. Takao、Especially for this year's students、Breathe in the mountain air、I wanted you to move your body to your heart's content。 Because Route 6 along the river that I climb every year was closed、Start climbing from "Inariyama Road" on the ridge road。 Without muddy、The trail is in good condition。 The return of the Chinese New Year did not come true、Eny-kun talking to his family in his hometown by video call。Be careful of your feet。 The other day's heavy rain cleared up like a lie、There was a view of Mt. Fuji from the top。 This year's seminar students who。Thank you for following such a teacher! Turn the Rokune clean stone car、Purify your mind and hope for a better future。 I went down the mountain safely this year without any accidents。 高 Past Takao location

The stock of photographic paper in Japan seems to be exhausted and I can't get it at all! This phenomenon did not start this year、It ’s worse than usual.。I searched for people for about two weeks、There seems to be no domestic stock。Reliance rope B&H also has a delivery time of 6-10 weeks。By the time the photographic paper arrives, the exhibition will begin! That's why I used only two rolls of photographic paper in the warehouse of ILFORD in the UK.、Arrange to have it sent by airmail in a hurry。Although the fare has been added to the price、It's an unavoidable expense to display using regular photographic paper。Stayed in the darkroom last weekend、I managed to complete 3 cuts by the deadline。It was a very thrilling battle。The image is a roll print waiting for a frame。From January 14th next year、It will be unveiled at ZEN FOTO GALLERY in Roppongi。 Obtaining photographic paper、We would like to thank Mr. Kojima, the owner of Lime Light Gallery in Osaka, for his efforts.。 The monk also runs、Photographer also runs、It was one act of such a december。
