I like summer in Paris.

As "Sabrina" says in the movie, maybe.... Paris is always a good idea.
I used to walk on the street looking into the finder of my Nikon FM
as if I was watching some private movie or so,
when I was a student there.
I couldn't refuse its beauty and its smell of summer in Paris.
I was young and, I didn't even care at all
that someone was waiting for me so badly in New York.

The world through the finder of Hasselblad is basically square.
Its format is called 'two and quater' in English and in Japan, we call it 'six-six'.

I use my Hasselblad mostly for studio shooting,
it is fun to look at the world through its square formatted finder.

Some people often say that
the square format is too difficult to make the image dramatic enough.
But I don't agree with that.
I just love it.
And, I enjoy it.

"...But Paris was a very old city and we were young and nothing was simple there, not even poverty, nor sudden money, nor the moonlight, nor right and wrong nor the breathing of someone who lay beside you in the moonlight...."
