Field Notes - Toshinaho, Ethereal Glow

Shooting the rarest Fujifilm film stock - Fujichrome Fortia SP
Fujichrome Fortia SP - Fujifilm’s rarest film stock
If you have never heard of Fortia SP it is because it was only sold for a short period of around 2 years in Japan. It is a color reversal film with native ISO of 50. Rumors on the interwebs is that these were a batch of Velvia gone wrong and repackaged as Sakura(Cherry Blossom) limited edition film stock.
Bounded is now collected at the State Library of Queensland
My photo social documentary project Bounded is now collected at the State Library of Queensland as part of their permanent collection.
A selection of 120 photos from this little social photo documentary work that I am committed to are now permanently archived at SLQ. The purpose of the collection is to make the photos available for future generations to study and reflect upon.
Photos I Took - March 2023
I spent about two weeks in Japan for a long due holiday. Powdery snow, late ume and early sakura blossoms.
Came home with 13 rolls of film shot. One of them was a roll of Fujichrome Fortia SP that I have saved for years.
