To put it simply, we (the writers) love Japanese photobloggers. One of them is a man nicknamed JJ (jumpedforjoy) of Pulpo.org. We love his black and white photos and the fact that he is still using film. You can found photos on his photoblog taken by great cameras such as Hasselblad 500 C/M and Leica M2. Now, the very first entry on his photoblog that we can dig was titled “Snow” and dated back to January 4, 2005. Well, actually his first photo was earlier than that. According to his email, his first photo ever published (the one shown above) was taken approximately 2 years ago. But the real first photo was taken when he was only 8 years old! (What were you doing when you’re 8?) So now we know, thanks to First Photo! :)

Hi Budi

GREAT! This theme is very interesting.
My first published picture is not this…

but this (mail attachment)
I have had some websites 2 years ago. But photoblog was far easier and
more exciting for me, so they were abolish or merge to Pulpo;)

My first photo that solitary crow on the tree branch has been taken when I was 8 years old, but the B/W negas and prints were disappeared
cuz moving house or something like that.
The camera was still in my hand NikomatEL Nikkor50 F2:) I used the combo recently inspired your mail… http://pulpo.org/weblog/?showimage=289

Honto ni arigatou gozaimasu, Takuro-san :)

midnight tales - 001
Geoffrey Pakiam of Midnight Tales is one of the many street photobloggers listed on photoblogs.org. Based in UK, his courage to take close candid shots of people has amazed us. His first photo was titled “#001 – Swedish summertime” and dated back to March 16, 2005. A fun and colorful shot :)

Sure Budi, I can do that…

the link to my first photoblog photo is at http://www.midnighttales.net/mt/archives/2005/03/post.html

(1) When and where you took your first photo? This was taken in Bralanda, Sweden, sometime in July 2004.

(2) What camera did you use to take the photo? A Pentax ME Super, 50mm lens, loaded with Fuji Reala 100 Film.

(3) What is the story behind the photo? These are my cousins. The guy with the beard is an old friend of mine. It’s a simple family photo, but I was also trying out new film combinations. I hadn’t really discovered the wide-angle lens at that time, it helped keep things a bit more simple and innocent.

Thanks Budi, it’s an honour!

Cheers
Geoff

Thanks Geoff. The honour is ours :)
