While in Japan in the late 1970's, I purchased a used Nikomat camera and started this fun journey into photography. These are three of my favorites, which I scanned from negatives. I haven't done any processing, so these are basically straight out of the camera. I may re-post in the future when I've learned how to touch them up. I'm not looking for advise, just wanted to post a couple showing how I got interested.
Very nice. Love the traditional kimonos.
The little girl is precious.

I didn't know the geisha girls started that young.

There is a lot of traditional Japanese dress that isn't connected in any way to Geisha.
Thanks for bringing back fond memories from the 50's

Colors look great. Film? Brings back memories of my time in Japan back in the mid-50's.
Great series. Japan is such a beautiful place and the kimonos are so cute especially when on the young kids. Mahalo for sharing.
Number 1 is a beautiful Japanese doll. And I love the expression in number 3.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting. Very nice photos. Wonder what #3 is thinking?
They brought back some nice memories. I was stationed at NAF Atsugi in 1976, and I bought my first Nikon SLR back then. The Japanese people were great to me and so I really enjoyed my assignment.
Keep posting,

Well, Don. That's surprising. I was stationed at NAF Atsugi Japan in the mid 70's also. TAD (temporary assigned duty in Navy speak) three times. I loved it. Especially the weather since I was coming from Guam and the Philippines. From hot and humid to cool and dry.
Chief,
I was the AIMD Officer and briefly Air Ops Officer until an NFO transferred in. Earned my MBA there, too.
Cheers,
Don
