TSUKIJI FISH MARKET, TOKYO 1998 Fujifilm G617 Velvia 100 Film My favorite 3rdplace doesn't exist anymore, the Tsukiji Fish Market was demolished to make way for a transport hub for the delayed 2020 Olympics. #photography #blueskyartshow #3rdplace #film

The very busy wholesale area of the late Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo.

I used to wander through all areas of the fish market with large tripod mounted cameras, keeping out of workers way, and not blocking any access. Entrance to the wholesale market ended when a foreign tourist touched a tuna during the daily auction and all hell broke out.

I was straightening up my studio the other day, and found a an unprocessed box of 4X5 Fujichrome Velvia marked exposed, guessing from how heavy it was, there must be 50-60 sheets in there. My favorite lab is in Tokyo, so it'll just have to wait until next year when we go back...

Mostly empty film boxes from film I've used over the past 30 years and 1 with unprocessed 4x5 color in it...
