So Tired
It has been a long few months at work and my team has been working really hard. Last night I rented out the famous and trendy bar 'So Tired' in Marunochi (near Ginza) and hosted a Happy Hour for my team and their friends. It was a blend of a Thank You, Celebration and Company Awareness event. I used to do a lot of these in New York City in the late 90s as the .coms were coming up to rapidly raise awareness. Today's configuration: Leica M Monochrom with a Summilux 28mm f/2.0 and a Leica SF-58 Flash
