Miss K says she needs to have a big hug and then put some clothes on because she might get cold

Well of course Mariko got dressed. I did not want her to run around the house like that the whole day. Instead we did something completely different because we had packed the Kimono.
just took a step out of the kitchen and we were in a nice little nook with beautiful flowers and Mariko was happy. After the photos in the Kimono she dressed in her black stuff but would not let go of the bokken. My silent deadly assassin

Great photos as usual @poppy70 
Mariko is such a tender sweet lady. Nice classy shots Poppy 
Mariko is lovely and it was really nice to meet her in person
We had a nice skylight in our room. Sunday afternoon the sun came blazing through and Mariko hummed “blinded by the light…”

Lovely! Mariko is such a sweetie! 
I agree with @AdamandEmma, meeting Mariko in the flesh was a treat (and you too, Poppy 
)
What a sight indeed! 
Were these taken with your medium format?
Yes with the new Fuji GFX 50S II
I struggled a little with the options and settings in the beginning but finally got it right. Interesting thing is there are “film recipes” to simulate specific looks - this one is made with the porta 400 settings. A feature I really like on the camera. Scaled down from 50 MP to full HD

I’ll imagine that it will take a while for you to fine tune the camera to how you want it!
Really cool, Looking forward to a lot more awesome photos with the new camera!
