Hi everyone. 

I wonder how many of my old mates are still here...but anyways, happy holidays. I hope everything is well with you all and your loved ones. 

I had been occupied with my work and some family issues with ups and downs in the last couple of years, there were not enough “space” for myself to take care of myself nor my photographs.

Now my dusty films had been developed, I decided to start posting the results again.

At the end of December 2022, I am still in midst of sadness and in my sorrow. But I believe all the process of taking photos and developing/organizing would make me heal a little and help me look forward. 

I would like to send my love and hug to you. Please take care and be sure to be safe, always. 

Love, 

Snaps & Cigarettes turned 8 today on the 1st, this month! 

Thanks, and have a happy St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow everyone.

It's been one of my thing to do “My best posts of 20xx” at the end of each year, but this year I guess not. The tool seems to be not working anymore. Thus I feel very sad.  

Oh well, things change. I know I need to get use to it. 

In Japan, we use Western calendar and Japanese calendar. It will be Heisei 31th year in 2019, but this era name is going to change in spring as the emperor is abdicating the throne. I’m living the whole Heisei era and some of the one before, and now, the next one.... Wow, I feel oooold. 

Talking about myself, I’m going to change my work environment in 2019. Hoping it will give a positive effect to my life, though I’m still a bit nervous. (Fingers crossed.) 

How about you, how are you all doing these days?? I hope you are all doing well, and of course will do in the coming year as well. 

Thank you for all the support. It’s always nice to see the likes (and reblogs) on my posts :) Artists, thanks for your posts, they are enhancing my sense limits. 

Wishing you a wonderful holidays and my best wishes for the new year.

I’ve been using Natura1600 ever since I first bought Natura Classica camera in 2009. My first choice camera to go still will be Natura Classica + Natura1600, but not for long any more. 

End of July
