I got up early today and as I was heading out the door at 6:45 as usual I realized I didn’t have any early morning meetings for once. The benefit of working for a US based company – Thanksgiving Weekend! While it isn’t a holiday in Japan I can
What a long but fantastic 10 days in San Francisco. I’m sitting in my hotel room, packed, exhausted and ready to head to the airport. Last weekend I held a photowalk when I had a little free time. As always a great crowd showed up.
I will be going to San Francisco for business and when I travel I like to hold photowalks in the city I am in as it is a great way to see the city and meet up with a lot of people at once. I have held past photowalks in Tokyo, Sydney, Beijing, Singapore
I have been trying out a new approach of hosting ‘Happy Hours’ as a technique of team celebration coupled with company awareness/market awareness with a lot of success. In August I rented out the famous and trendy bar ‘So Tired’ in Marunochi
I have only been to Shimokitazawa once before so it was nice to get out and explore that area a bit. While I really like shooting film I think what I really like the processing part. With digital I can shoot, get it home, process it really fast
I decided to grab a single camera with a single lens and head out for a long walk the other day. As I said before I think the approach of shooting a single lens for a while can really help you to learn the lens and what you can do with it.
I always wonder if owning a car in Tokyo is a waste of money. Parking is expensive anywhere you go. It is expensive to park even at your apartment. I don’t drive to work or to the airport. I drive on weekends and sometimes it is only 1 of the days.
I was lucky enough to have some free time and catch a baseball game at Tokyo Dome last week. The Nippon Ham Fighters were playing the Softbank Hawks. A few years ago when the Red Sox came to Tokyo to play a few exhibition games
I was cleaning up the working folders in my Lightroom Library and found a bunch of images from my Leica M Monochrom that I haven’t shared yet so I thought I would. I really enjoy shooting with his camera. It has often become my go to camera in the evening
Nothing like a red eye to the states to wake you up. The worst thing you can do is go to sleep as you will never get adjusted to the time zone. Typically I get up and go right away. This is what I did when I woke up in Foggy San Francisco off my red eye flight
I am at Nartia and heading to San Francisco. My travel comes in spirts and it’s been more than a month since I traveled. I grabbed The Friendly Bus from the Westin. People always think I am kidding when I say I am taking ‘The Friendly Bus’
It has been a long few months at work and my team has been working really hard. Last night I rented out the famous and trendy bar ‘So Tired’ in Marunochi (near Ginza) and hosted a Happy Hour for my team and their friends.
