I’ve been flying through O’Hare airport a number of times over the years but have not had the chance to visit the beautiful city of Chicago. On my most recent trip I’ve had the opportunity to spend a day around the city. Special thanks to 2 of my wonderful colleagues who took the day to [...]
Managed to attend a talk today by Trey Ratcliff hosted by Google Japan. He shared with us on what is influences are and how things that had happened to him early in his life impacted the way that he lives, thinks and his philosophy in life. He also showed us an abbreviated flow of how [...]
I’m sure by now you must have come across 100s of posts online of Sakura. They bloom only once a year in the beginning of spring for one week. This is my contribution to the pile. They will probably be gone by this weekend is my guess. Thank you for visiting and don’t forget to [...]
As the weather starts to warm and Sakura starts to bloom, it is time to hang up my snowboard and wait for the next season of powder. I made one last trip to Tanbara Ski Park (http://www.tambara.co.jp/skipark/) and didn’t expect much as it didn’t appear to be much from the homepage but I was pleasantly [...]

I’ve been trying to get my B&W shots to the way I like them but I have not been able to achieve a look that I’m happy with. I used to shoot RAW + JPEG with the JPEG set to B&W but found that the files take up too much space. I do like the [...]
This is the latest camera in my collection- the iPhone5. “The Best Camera Is The One That’s With You” -Chase Jarvis and this is the camera that I have with me ALL THE TIME. I’ve had it for a couple of weeks now but somehow have not been taking a lot of pictures with it. [...]
Kyoto is a beautiful place and you literally can spend years photographing the place and still not get bored. I barely got out of the station and there were already so many interesting going on. Here are some of the photos of my ride in to Kyoto from Tokyo. Lunch Beautiful Station Of [...]
Previously I had posted on acquiring a “new” camera. The Minolta SR-T 101. However, I didn’t manage to get some sample photos up. I’ve finally manage to run my first roll of film through it and here are some samples. Today’s film is Fujicolor NPH400. I had it developed and scanned at my local [...]
