Mary, it also sells dried fruit and vegetables, so "preservatives" might be better than "pickles" (no jams, though). The Japanese eat vast amounts of pickles, so it might not be too hard to make a living...

I find it interesting that the shop sells just pickles. It must be very hard to make a living. Nice colours.

I find these stall shots fascinating, Roger!!
A real glimpse into another culture.
Fine work, as ever.
Best regards, Chris

Hi, Richard! Glad you like this series. It isn't popular with many here at Usefilm... The Bessa T is great as a street/candid camera. They are now out of production and are belng closed out at really low prices. If you like the 25mm FL, there are even a few Bessa L still available for peanuts from Cameraquest.com. The L (no rangefinder) combines nicely with the 25/4 (no RF cam) for quick "shooting from the hip" street photography. It's a superb lens! RFs are best for WA (far superior to the SLR, as I am so often reminded). The T would give you nice WA capabilities and still focus a 90mm F/3.5 quite accurately.

"market" not "matkey"

The "Little Pickle Shop of Horrors"? I see business is highly specialized in japan. The entrepeneur might want to branch out into relish or something to increase matkey saturation. Sorry. I'll get serious now. I like documentary photographs like this. They will generally have value many years into the future. You are amassing a nice glass collection for the Bessaflex. I guess you like it just fine. i have thought of getting another Bessa T to satisfy my occasional rangefinder craving.
