Please tell us something about yourself and what you do.
Hi! I am Miyoshi. I was born and raised in Tokyo. I stayed in the US and South Korea for a little bit. I work in the fashion industry before quitting. Right now, I’m look for something new for my living.
How did you find the Community and who/what convinced you to join?
I have known the community for a long time. I often visit the website and I really like this community. There are tons of beautiful and interesting photos. I have taken photos with film cameras in the last five years and haven’t uploaded most of them. So this is really good place to share my photos.
As you have read the 10 Golden Rules of Lomography, what rule do you apply in your everyday life?
For me, “Don’t think” is the most important. I don’t have any theme for my photos and never edit them. I try to take photos as much as possible. Still I miss some moments. I feel I still think or care too much so I try to remember to not think much to take better photos. I want to try taking more photos of people from now.
In this digital age, why still film?
I really like the process. I am always excited to shoot with my cameras. Film photos always show something interesting.
Your favorite analog camera as of the moment? Why?
I use a Contax T2 and Lomo LC-A+ now. Both are really convenient and look nice. As for my Contax, it was used by my dad before. And I have a Minolta Weathermatic Dual35, which is also nice one but it was broken beyond repair. I wish I could use that again.
What is the Lomographic camera you’d want to have someday?
I just got my LC-A so I want to use it more and try some its attachments.
Any song, book, or movie you live by?
This is one of the most difficult questions of all the time. I do listen to various kind of music like electro and hip-hop. But I think I can say that I can’t live without Tom Petty because he was my first favorite artist since I was a kid. My interest in music actually started from classic rock.
Any Community member you look up to? If so, why him or her?
I like to see photos randomly. I often use hashtags to find new photos or users. I am new here. I should make cool friends here. [Laughs] I always respect all users here.
What are you looking forward to in our Community?
In this community, there are already so many cool people, who constantly inspired and motivated me. I try to make my photos as good as theirs. So, I’m looking forward to more beautiful pictures as always.
Thank you Miyoshi for sharing your thoughts with us! Welcome to the community and we’re looking forward to seeing your future work!
