zap's new toy...

zap is one of my and shinya's favorite artists alive. although we talk absolute nonsense most of the time and make fun of each other all the time, to me zap is awe-inspiring person.

by the way, zap's gonna put the seats that shinya took out from his cortina on his bug :)

写真家Zップの新しい遊び道具。うーん、カメラやレンズは彼にとってはただの道具ではないのだろうな。工夫して改造して、自分だけのものにする。自分が気に入ったカメラならそれがどんなカメラであっても。レンズもそう。うーん、言葉では上手く言い表せないけど、最も尊敬する生きている芸術家の内のひとり。作品だけじゃなくて、人間としても大好き。内に秘めた天才的な変態っぷりがたまらない。Zップとはいつもどうでもいい話しかしていないんだけど、その奥に実はアレがあるんだな。アレ持っている人が近くにいると、本当にしあわせ。お金では買えないものだからね。がび~んだね。

そうそう、木村氏がコルチナから外したシートはZップのバグ用に。

Nice choice there Zap ! I'm a long time Leica M series ( M6 for me ) fanatic/addict . To Hell with digital I say . Good old well maintained M6 . A few quality rolls of B&W film and you're set for life .

Leica . Built like a Tank with the quality if the finest of Swiss Watches .

Hope Ayu posts some photos on the site from your new acquisition .

ayu ;

Wait for the next big Rush towards digital . The last one had the Leica prices drop like a stone ( I bought my M6 body + 35mm & 90 mm and hard case for less than $1400 during the last big Digital rush in 2004 . All used from a Leica Dealer recently factory refurbished )

If I run across any screaming deals on a used one I'll let you know here or on the Chabott email . I'm currently on a hunt for a 50mm so I'm always looking . You'll know its me as I recently sent you an email about the T-shirts , the painting and composition .

Zap is a gypsy, and gentleman, and a scollar. And a 99 cent store hero!
