I have been carrying my Leica M Monochrom 28mm lens and my small Leica flash for the past week. My shots while out on the street didn’t come out that great but I also didn’t really try that hard. I mostly spent my time shooting people. I think I am
I picked up the Leica SF 24D Flash a few years ago but I haven’t used it much. I mostly use my larger Leica SF-58 Flash which I am pretty comfortable with but it isn’t very practical or very ergonomic to shoot with. I want to get better with the SF 24D

I love this time of year. Japan shuts down at the end of the year and I have some time to myself so I can close out on all of the unfinished things in my life. I finish any paperwork I need to get done around the house, I empty my email boxes, I go through my
Two of my friends Marysol and Dennis were in Tokyo from Texas. Dennis was kind enough to be one of the seven big backers on my Kickstarter Project that helped me to fund the creation of my ShootTokyo Book. We first caught up for long lunch and then a personal
Being a blog owner I get all sorts of email. Can I do a guest post? Can you do a review of [insert product name here]? Is ShootTokyo for sale? Can you write a guide book on photowalks in Tokyo so I can sell it along with my others? Can you translate this
