Cherry Blossoms Velvia

May 9, 2015

Blossoms were great this year, here are a few blossoms that I took my my Fujica AX-3 on Velvia 50 fujifilm. I wish there was more pink here in Richmond but most of them were white or slight pink. There is quite enough places to see blossoms in Richmond. These were taken at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens in Lakeside. The gardens had installed Cherry trees all around the pond which is new this year. They are not all that amazing but in a few years when they grow and become larger they will be great.

Some blossoms had fallen on the pond in the Japanese garden…

Bottom by Film

May 7, 2015

I have made a post earlier before when I did a photography meetup and we walked downtown in the bottom of Richmond. I had also brought my Voigtlander Bessa R2 using Portra 125.

We checked out the farmers market where there was no one really since it was in the winter. Empty spaces were just sitting there with their number painted on the pillars.27830005

The amount of stickers all over the city is amazing. It is like the new graffiti.

But there is still some graffiti art all over…

A Snow in North East

May 5, 2015

It has been a while since my postings. I visited a small town in Maryland called North East. It is at the northern terminus part of the Chesapeake Bay. Was up there during a small snow storm or what I thought as it built up. I left the house and took a walk in the small town as it was piling up.

Handcraft and Showroom

March 4, 2015

Part of the walk I did a few months back on a cold day. We walked through a warehouse district of Richmond. There were a lot of empty buildings and places in disrepair. It was an interesting walk where there was no one walking around except for a small Brew house that opened shop there. Breweries and Beer has become a big thing in Richmond and it is definitely part of the culture now for just about all drinking aged people.

This Showroom was almost cleared out but had a few chairs inside that were flipped over…

This handcraft factory was left alone probably for at least ten years…
