All in Shinjuku
We spent two days together in late spring where they followed me as I went about my shooting. We hit some of my favorite spots around Tokyo. We started in Jiyugaoka, went to my office in Roppongi, then we shot around Shibuya, Yurakucho, Zojoji and Shinjuku.
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
When I got back from Jakarta last week I just crashed. I took off a few days and didn’t do much of anything. I had big ambitions to do a few blog posts and shoot a few videos but I ended up doing basically nothing. I was really tired after all of my travel

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
I often hear from people that this is better than that. I should get this this camera or rather than that camera. For me what I want is something that fits my life style that inspires me to shoot. Both of these points are very important to me and my photography
This is the 3rd and final leg is my fantastic night of photography last week. Here is one and two. I wish every night of photography for me is like this. I was just having a great time. Didn’t have a lot on my mind. Scenes and images just seemed to appear
Continuing on my trip to Shinjuku with my friend Scott. We surfaced from the subway and these two kids were sitting in front of McDonald’s eating some fries. They were fun to shoot. I am really happy with the images from this outing. Sometimes I am just
My friend Scott was in town on business this week. We both have a lot in common; we both love Japan, speak Japanese, have Japanese wives, and love photography. It’s a little freaky to meet someone that has that much in
