"Romikamo and Juri-kamo"
Spring is not just for people. It is surely a season of love for ducks as well. The two gaze at each other. I was able to capture this moment after spending 20 minutes with a 50mm lens to close the distance. Perhaps the surroundings don't matter to them.

"Breath of Spring"
With my first old lens in hand, I headed to Hikarigaoka Park in early spring. The park was still devoid of blooming flowers. As I strolled, I suddenly felt a gaze from the shadows? There stood a messenger of spring, illuminated by a spotlight. Beyond the fresh green, the bokeh from the old lens sparkled like bubbles of breath. It was spring that could only be captured by an old lens and the latest DSLR.
