Hello
How did I start this last week?
Did I say hello or hi?
When you think of the word summer
What images do you have in your head?
I think of a lot of outdoor activities
Whether it's outdoor cinema, concerts, parks, picnics, beach hangouts
And also outdoor dining
And I thought of some other summery things
Such as the warm morning light
As well as the warm evening light
I did go back to some places I photographed before
But because of the changing of seasons
I think I got different results this time
Something I noticed is that a lot of photographers
They do this thing called a warm-up shot
As someone who has never done that
This picture kind of made me realize the importance of it
Mainly because number one
This picture was taken in a hurry
If I saw this person noticed me with the camera
He seemed a little uncomfortable
And because of that I wasn't in a hurry
I took one picture and just walked away
But going back to the warm-up shot
I was able to get an idea of the lighting
I have not shot this early in the morning in a long time
This was around 7.30
And I simply didn't know what kind of lighting to expect
So overall not bad
But at the same time the composition could be so much better
Maybe if I asked this person
Hey can I get a picture of you
You can just continue reading
And I could photograph it from different angles
Maybe even from the inside of the cafe
That would have been really cool
I think I would have been more mindful of
How I captured this person
Because I was here pretty early in the morning
It was very empty
Not a lot of people were there
But I really wanted someone to sit in the light
Drink their coffee and enjoy the morning
That didn't happen
So I decided to take these pictures as a reference
But at the same time
I'm kind of enjoying this serene quietness
Slowness of the morning here
When I exported this picture
I thought it's so overexposed
But then I remembered why that happened
I wanted to show the people on the right
And also showcase the interior of the cafe
Through the left window
In order to do that
I had to brighten up a little bit
And because of that
The exterior of the building was washed out
If the exterior was nicely balanced out
That meant the people on the right
And the interior on the left
They were not going to be seen
Of course I could take two pictures
Maybe photoshop them in
It's a learning experience
I just need to take my time
Play around with the camera some more
And figure out what kind of setting
Works best here
So I can get the best of both worlds
Every Friday in the summer
LACMA LA County Museum of Art
They have a live jazz night
I've never been
Only seen pictures of it
And I thought
That sounds like a fun summer activity
And because I want to take
A lot of summery pictures
I decided to head over there
After work on Friday
But on my way there
I came across this diner
Because of the glare
And the reflection on the window
I decided to use my hand
To create a shadow
Or some kind of a blocker
While I was experimenting
With different shadow angles
I realized I could kind of create
That double exposure look
Because of the reflection of the palm trees
In the other building across the street
This picture kind of has
A little bit of the double exposure look
And also I like how light it looks
Compared to the completely blocked
Cleaner version of the image
The image on the right
With a little bit of reflection
It feels a little hollow
And I think it does a better job
Of showing how empty
And abandoned this place is
I hesitated including
This portion of the video
Because I simply do not like
Any of the pictures that I took here
Number one
It was so crowded
That the images that I had in my head
Were not coming out properly
And number two
Because of the crowd
I didn't have a lot of flexibility
When it comes to
Capturing certain moments
The mood
The scenery
And all the little details
I want to take pictures of
Someone's picnic basket
Someone pouring a bottle of wine
Friends laughing together
So many little details that I think
I want to hear the word summer
Those things did not happen here
I saw those things
But I couldn't photograph them
This picture is a hot mess
Too crowded
Too dark
You can't even see
The person on the left very well
But you know what
I'm here to own up to my
Terrible pictures
And learn from them
Honestly
This would have been better
If the focus was on
The couple instead
Maybe not
The entire set of images
From this place
And of course
We can't leave LACMA
Without taking this picture
But hear me out
Lady on the left
Another person on the right
And the couple right there
If the two people
Came a little closer to the front
Then if there was another person
Preferably a couple
Standing in the empty area
That would have been a fun picture
It's one person
Two people
One person
Or if I had one person per
Aisle
That would have been a good picture too
But this ended up being
Just another cliche LACMA picture
With no story
Yeah I hesitated
Including this entire set here
I photographed Venice Beach
A couple months ago
But I wanted to come back here
And see how I can
Rephotograph it
In a summary way
This girl made my entire video
She made me forget about
Whatever happened at LACMA
She was sitting there
With her own helmet
Watching all the skateboarders
And the way she was
Just watching them
Was so pure
That I had to get pictures of her
Her holding onto the helmet
And watching all the people
What a great memory for her
But I couldn't decide
Which picture I liked
The first one of the skateboarder
Who is about to go
And the second one
Where the person is in action
You can still see that the girl
Is looking at both people
I don't know
I like them both
But if I were to choose
I think I will go with the second one
No I like the first one
I'll go with both
To me this is
The definition of summer
Early summer night at the beach
With your friends
Getting your pictures taken
If I were to create
A summer 2023 short form video
Of all the pictures
That I took this summer
I think this would be the cover
For the last two to three months
I've been playing around with motions
And because I knew
The background was going to be still
And people were doing a lot of activities
I wanted to incorporate
A little bit of texture
Intimate pictures
This slide over here
The picture on the right
What I wanted to do
Was to focus on the person on the bike
And pan to the right
By doing that
This person will be in focus
And the background will not be
That was my idea
Clearly I need more practice
But I think I want to take more shots
In this style
When I'm back in New York, Tokyo
Or even Hong Kong
Just like how you cannot leave LACMA
Without taking pictures of the urban light
You cannot leave Venice
Without taking a picture of this sign
The first few minutes I got to the sign
The lights were not on
But as soon as I turned around
I heard people say
The lights are on
So I turned around
Got this picture
It's very simple
It almost looks like a stock image
And because I've been
Playing around with textures
I thought I would slow down my shutter speed
And play around with different lights
Now they both are very cliche
I'm sure a lot of people
Have taken similar pictures
But I wanted to show you
Two options that I got
Option number one on the left
Very clean red and yellow lights
I like this because
The lines are very clear
And the colors kind of match
The rainbow light of the sign
However on the right side
Because the lights are more subdued
And there's a bit of white haze from a car
It seems a little colder
And with the person standing on the right
It has a different feeling
A little cold
A little lonely
But I think if I were to choose one
I'm gonna go with the left picture
Overall trying to capture summer
Was a little more difficult
Than I thought it would be
I'm not sure it's because
I had so many expectations in my head
And they didn't get executed properly
Or it's simply because
I wanted to go to these familiar places
But capture something a little different
But like I mentioned during the video
We're all learning
It's a learning process
Maybe I'll do another summer video this year
And see how that one goes
Or maybe I'll do one in a different city
We'll see
Anyways I think I'm gonna do
Another Ricoh video next week
So I'll see you then
