I am still enjoying my exploration with Film. I am on a business trip for the next two week and I brought along 5 rolls of Provia 100, Velvia 100, Ektar 100, 4 rolls of TMAX 400 and 2 rolls of TMAX 100. Curious to see what I capture in lovely San Francisco. I am going to be holding a photowalk with Vince Mo at the Googleplex on Friday 9/21. Look for details coming soon. Until then time for Shooting Shinjuku... Today's Configuration Leica M6J, Portra 160 and 800, various Leica lenses.

I love shooting open train doors... inside is a world onto itself.

Whoever thought of combining a pretzel with a croissant is a genius...

I don't really understand this slogan...but I bought a pink one for my wife to support my favorite Bakeshop.

I have seen a lot of these bikes lately and I have been enjoying soon myself in them. One thing to remember with shooting reflections and your aperture setting - you need to set a depth of field that can cover the distance from the 'mirror' to the subject not from you to the 'mirror'. So if you shoot at f/2.8 you will have a very shallow depth of field and your subject will not be sharp. In this case I shot at f/18 to get everything sharp. It makes sense if you think through it but something to remember if you like to shoot wide open like I do.

My stereotypical thought when I think of Asia... construction.

I loved this girl's expression...

I do not spend a lot of time in Shinjuku anymore now that I work in Roppongi. My friend Chris was in town from Hong Kong staying in Shinjuku so we decided to meet up there for a bit of shooting.
