In 2018 I checked one of my dream destinations off the list: JAPAN. I brought both, my digital as well as my analog camera, but decided to take pictures on my analog camera only, while solely using my digital camera for filming. It was not an easy decision at that time because I was still mainly shooting digitally, especially when considering an event too 'important' to rely only on film. But since my passion for film photography grew more and more and I see Japan as some sort of 'capitol of analog photography', I knew I had to take the leap and shoot only film. Even though I prepared for the possibility of data loss when only shooting analog, I did not expect this loss to be as severe: All (except one roll) of my analog images were fine, but due to a hardware error on one of my SD-cards I lost almost 50% of the video footage I took, also including ALL of my time-consuming time-lapses. (The only time lapse that's in the video was taken with my smartphone). During this trip I had the goal to put a small little travel video together as a memory, but after the data loss I was unmotivated to edit any of it and was convinced it would never be enough footage for any type of video at all. I have not touched or even watched any of the footage after returning from my journey. Now, almost two years later I still go through my analog images a lot and that's when it hit me and I knew what I had to do.

A special thank you goes out to Basti: not only for always being the best friend and also best translator and tour guide ever, but also for being patient when I was looking at pretty much all of the analog camera shops I could find and when I took my time to shoot. I will never ever forget this trip and I hope this little video brings back some memories I thought were gone.

All analog images were taken with the Konica Autoreflex TC and a no-name point and shoot camera I can't even remember the name of (aka: gear does not matter). The video footage was taken on my Sony A7II with the kit-lens and the Samyang 35mm/2.8 as well as my iPhone 7.
