In this day and age there are a lot of people that you know from online that you haven’t met in real life. It is just the way the world works and is so interconnected now. I was so excited this week to bump into one of my favorite people from the web –
It has been a busy couple of months for me. It is hard to describe how busy I have been. I have little time for basically everything. I was able to meet up with my friends Lui and Richard at a Happy Hour last week. It is always good to see them. I first met
I have been getting up super early to avoid the head and crowds on the train to work. I am getting to work so early I sometimes arrive before Starbucks opens… I enjoy the quiet peaceful commutes to the office. Nothing particularly special has been going on
It’s nice to be back home after so long on the road. I was able to get out last weekend for a little bit with my Hasselblad. There is something so satisfying about the ‘thunk’ sound the shutter makes. It is a great way to get out and relax for a
It is so nice to be home after so long away. It was probably the longest trip I have been on in a very long time. I will have another trip to India in a couple of weeks. I will have a lot of travel as I settle into my new job so need to cherish the time I have at
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 was recently recruited to a new company and will be starting a new job on Monday. I won’t go into the details here on ShootTokyo. You are welcome to guess but my answer/confirmation will be on my LinkedIn on Monday when I update it. I’ve had the past
I met up with Luke Hahn who runs a site called Made by Peoplewhere he and his partner interview artist from all over the world. Luckily they asked me meet with me while they are in town to shoot a bit of me street shooting to add to an interview on me
I just flew in from America. I was spending a week visiting my folks and doing some power shopping. That is probably an under statement to the amount of shopping I did. I haven’t bought casual clothes in a few years and basically purchased a wardrobe.
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
