Today was a bit of mixed weather with the threat of rain. Mayumi and I headed to Kinuta Park to meet some of my coworkers for Ohanami. It started to rain as we left but thankfully it wasn’t raining when we got to the park. I found a drive through Starbucks in
My teams work very hard and sometimes you need to take a break. Last friday we head out of the center of Tokyo for a bit of rest and bonding. We started out at Akigawa Trout Fishing Park for a bit of river fishing and a BBQ. This place is a lot of fun. I spent

I was hoping that I missed all the snow while I was in Las Vegas but Mother Nature has different plans for me. Tokyo go pounded again when snow just as I returned. Tokyo has no facilities to deal with snow. No salting, No sanding, No shovels! I cleaned off my
One morning I drove down to Azabu Juban to explore this little part of Tokyo before it came alive. I haven’t spent a lot of time in this area so I figured it was a good time to explore. I was shooting slide film again. This time Provia 100F. I only shot
