I finally caught up on my work and was able to get out late in the afternoon to explore LA a bit. I decided to head down to Venice Beach and see what there was to see. Today’s configuration: Leica M9-P with a Summicron 28mm f/2.0, Summilux 35mm f/1.4 and a
I have been in San Francisco for a little more than 2.5 weeks. This is a very long trip for me and I’m really tired. I’ll head to LA this afternoon. I have flown through LA many times but I have never been into LA. I have a lot of work to catch up
Finally settled into the timezone after a little under a week in San Francisco. I got to catch up on a lot of work. It is taking me a while to settle into a new IT setup. I am migrating from iPhone and iPad to Android. I got to get out and see a bit of San
I just landed in San Francisco off the red eye from Tokyo. It’s amazing how getting a plane and sleeping is just second nature to me. Of course I went to bed at 11PM and woke up at 2am. I stay awake until 4am and finally fell asleep again for 2 hours. The

I get asked a lot by students coming to Tokyo what is a good cost effective camera to capture Tokyo with. I always answer the same way – the Ricoh GR. I love mine. It has great ISO capability. The wide perspective is perfect for capturing Tokyo. You can
When I was shooting my Kickstarter video a few weeks ago I ended up shooting a lot of shots during the filming. I thought it would be fun to share the ‘behind the scenes’ shots… We started off in Golden Gai. It is one of my favorite locations in
Today is Constitution Day in Japan. The current constitution was drafted under the direction of the US after World War II and went into effect on May 3rd, 1947. Japan’s current constitution replaced Japan’s militaristic and absolute monarchy with democracy. It
I love the feeling when I first start processing images from my Leica Monochrom. I have the same thought every time. Why don’t I shoot with this camera more. The image quality is just so fantastic. The details in each image continue to surprise me. I
