fotolife in tokyo: 俺のハンバーグ / My Hamburg Steak （東京・自由が丘 / Jiyugaoka, Tokyo）

この日は日が傾いた時間帯に多摩川の河原で実験したいことがあり、それまでの少しの時間、自由を散歩した。俺のハンバーグ？　なんのこっちゃ。上の写真はお菓子の家やん。まあ、誰のハンバーグかは、散歩の途中でわかるので、お付き合いを。

ところで最近、昼間の散歩にニコンの24-70mm f2.8Eを持ち出すことが多い。よく写るし、１本あれば短焦点レンズ３本分の画角をカバーできてしまうので便利だ。まじめにポートレートを撮ろうと思ったら、単焦点にはかなわないけれど、荷物が軽くなるのはよい。

とは言っても、レンズ＋ボディで２キロ近い重さになる。ここだけの話、僕は２キロのダンベルで日々、腕を鍛えている（笑）。

I wanted to do some experiment at the riverside of Tama River that day in the late afternoon. I had some time until then, so I decided to visit Jiyugaoka, one of people's favorite shopping towns around here. ButWhy my hamburg steak? What the photo above shows is a house made with bread and sweets! You'll know the reason during the walk in the town. So come with me.

By the way, I often walk with the Nikon's 24-70mm zoom lens these days. It's focus is so accurate and fast. I'm satisfied with its image quality. Also, it covers the angles of three different prime lenses. I still go with Sigma's prime lenses for portrait shooting, but when taking a walk, I want to reduce the weight of my gear.

Having said that, the weight of the camera and lens is almost two kilograms. So just you and me, I train my arms with Two-kilogram dumbbells every day.

有刺鉄線を見ると、子どものころにこいつで足を盛大に切ったことを思い出す。
Whenever I saw barbed wires, I remember I cut my leg severely when I was a small child. Twice.

本物はもう20年以上見ていない。
I haven't seen the real Eiffel Tower for over 20 years.

はしごと格子のシンクロ。
The synchronized ladder and lattice.

店内で隣に座った人の前に出されたハンバーグを指さして、「それ、俺のハンバーグですよね」と言いたい。
I'm excited to find this restaurant. Its name is "My hamburg steak - Yamamoto". The steaks they serve are all mine!
