I'm almost at 1900 subs on my #YouTube channel. That space is a wild one, because I don't want to have a channel that's like everyone else's. I have a few ideas that I'm working on, so if you want to come along for the ride, plz subscribe!

"Sending and Receiving the Message" - Tokyo on film.

Kind of speaks for itself. So yeah, one of my favorite places for photography!

Hello? Yeah, it's me. Did you pick up the whatever from wherever? OK, good. Now listen, you need to get on with your なになに and move forward with the なになに. Right. TTYL.

Leaving one chair and on the way to another. *Tokyo at night is so much more than Shibuya Crossing.

People of Sangenjaya - Rainy nights make for epic images. This area is TOPS for me when shooting a hyper-local vibe. Never fails. Large up to Taylor Jackson for hangin'.

Tokyo strolls. Nakameguro is STILL epic.

Back streets of Akihabara on film. I've had many chats about Kentmere Pan 200 lately, and for good reason! The stock kicks booty. Tomorrow, I'll shoot a roll of this in the sun. We shall see! I have a feeling it's gonna rock my socks off, per usual.

Ahoy, from Tokyo! I've been having a good time capturing some cool spots around town with a new lens. I traded a bunch of stuff for it, so that's a win! Another win is finding some cool scenes to shoot. Here's my story. #YouTube #Leica #Summarit #Tokyo #StreetPhotography

Quick sesh in Shinjuku.

Tokyo is massive, but I can always find something that stands out. It's not neon signs or massive intersections that beckon tourists for their moment frozen in time. It's something else.

Tokyo film wanderings ~ I like how this particular film shows the textures, contrasts, and elements of the scene differently than some stocks I'm used to. Kentmere Pan 200 is a gem and is easily editable, which I love.

First shots with the Leica 35mm Summarit f2.5 — I'm downsizing my stable of "stuff". This means cameras, lenses, etc. Selling a bunch of things to bring in one thing feels good to me. Less is more, I say.

Basically, this means I'm entering a building that's groovy old.
Check it out! Oh, and that whole "subscribe" thing? I genuinely need it. Arigato!

This place felt haunted. I swear. I walked by and felt like I was being watched. 😐

Thumbnail image for latest video. I don't post self portraits much, but I really like this one.

After eight years of living here, I have just now been told it's not "black and white" film, it's "white black". So I've been describing it incorrectly, without correction, for almost a decade. Heh.

Well, here it is. A statement of sorts. Enjoy.

Gakugeidaigaku matsuri as the Omikoshi makes its way down one of the main streets in my 'hood.

To celebrate my new LinkedIn bio, I cooked myself two small pork chops and topped them with a sunnyside-up fried egg. Also, I'm rocking the Ichiro's Malt with a couple ice cubes. That'll make people hire me! 😆

I mean, can't I just say, "YONGATSU" instead of "SHIGATSU"? No. I can't. It's not correct. Also, no spacing between words really f's me up. Always has.

And my wife wonders why I don't speak more Japanese.

I'm a schedule master. So if I miss an appointment, it's not because I f'd up. Someone else or some other thing made me late. That's it. Thanks. Haha! I just had to get that out there.
