Please visit (and enjoy!) Richard Bram's portfolio as well as his project, called Big hair & True love.
Richard was kind enough to leave a message in my guestbook!
It is really an honour for me to have a message from him (I don't know how
deep Richard had to "dig" the Internet to find my homepage!), as I truly enjoy
his work and think he's a photographer of great talent.
Xavier dropped by Tokyo for a couple of days and it was really great to see him again, to see he didn't change and even better to see what he's accomplished in our headquarters in Paris, thanks to his great vision of things and his unique character!
The restaurant we went to is the famous Kani Douraku, where each and every dish
is based on crab.
I especially liked the kani sashimi (raw crab), the taste is so much different
than when it's cooked, it's hardly believable.
On the other hand, Jean-Paul had a hard time there, as he cannot eat crab at all!
A quick word on the pictures,
from a technical point of view: they were taken with my 50mm f1.4 again (I
will never say it enough: this lens is a-ma-zing) under ambient light at ISO
400, that's why the depth of field is so shallow.
The rest of the merit goes to the camera itself, the Canon EOS 10D, which produces
almost noise-free pictures at high ISO!
