I have been in 5 cities in the past four weeks; Singapore, Bangkok, Tokyo, San Francisco and Los Angeles. I have logged close to 70,000 miles year to date. I am expecting things will slow down a little bit in the second half of the year but probably not that much.
Here is a series of New York City Monochrom images from my trip at the beginning of the month. I have been doing a bunch of travel since to Singapore and Thailand. I write this as I am sitting in the airport lounge at Haneda airport catching the 1AM flight to San
I just spent a few days in New York City last week. I haven’t been here since I took the Jay Maisel Workshop. That was probably the best week of photography of my life. A great group of class mates and a great instructor. Half of this trip was work and then
I love spring time in Tokyo. The weather is not too hot and not too cold. You can wear a light sweater and a light jacket but the jacket isn’t required. It was nice to not have a weekend that involved travel so I took the opportunity to get out with my wife
I just spent the last week in Mumbai India. I have made a few trips to India in the past year but I haven’t had much time for photography so wanted to make sure I was able to take some pictures this trip. The trip was for an event my company was hosting.
I am continuing flashing Tokyoites with a deadpan look on their face… I am getting the hang of this and really getting a feel for which backgrounds work well with this. I really like how the images are coming out. Meet Frederique… Today’s Configuration:
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
Saturday was my friend Matthew’s birthday so on Saturday night I headed out to Devil Craft in Hamamatsucho. This place has great craft beer and deep dish pizza. I was actually surprised how good it was. I wanted to be a bit lazy so I bolted my small flash
I landed in Dublin yesterday and was able to make it through the day without crashing. The trick to getting over jet lag is not going to sleep when you get there. I typically try to stay up until 10 or 11PM on the first night. I ended up falling asleep around
My 12 hour flight from Tokyo went very smoothly. I boarded the flight and like clockwork I was fast asleep before the door even shut. I slept 9 hours straight. That is longer than I sleep any night of the week. I was able to get about half way through my
I just finished packing and have a 1am flight to Frankfurt with a connection to Dublin. I know a lot of people don’t like red eye flights but they really are perfect for me. I sleep really well on planes. It is a 12 hour flight to Germany, I have a 5
I hope everyone’s year is off to a good start. I can feel mine beginning to pick up after a nice break from travel with a trip to Dublin later this week and London the following. I am very excited as I have never been to Dublin before and it is a place I have
