In this first podcast for 2025, I explain my absence from the airwaves for the past 7 months! Trust me, I had a good excuse!

I then recount stories from my latest trip to Japan in May / June. On this trip I met Bellamy Hunt, Japan Camera Hunter, who kindly gifted me a roll of Fujifilm Neopan 1600.

I shot the film in the shotengai (covered shopping street) in Onomichi over 2 nights. Check out the photos I describe on my Substack: https://mattlovescameras.substack.com/
