Eating, eating and more eating before I leave. This was shot at the ‘Holy Cafe’ in Daikanyama, Tokyo. Really nice all concrete interior which only the Japanese know how to pull off properly. Leica M7, Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1, Fuji Pro 800Z film.

I don’t think I’ve written anything about cameras for a while so I thought I’d post some of my thoughts from recently changing from shooting mostly digital to film. As some of you may know I have a Leica M8 also and recently tried my hand at shooting film. I started out with Canons, L...

I have so much personal work to blog! These past couple of weeks we’ve been going around cool cafes and restaurants spending our time hanging out, meeting friends and shopping. I’m really going to miss places like this, there are so many hidden treasures around Tokyo, hidden in seedy looking buildings on the eighth floor...

A few photos from Christmas. These were taken in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Every Christmas they put up a great light display which makes for some insane bokeh! Leica M7, Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1, Fuji Pro 800Z film.

A couple of days ago I had the chance to photograph our friend Viviane. She’s from Taiwan and is living here in Tokyo studying art. She’s also interested in photography and you can check out her site HERE. I’m waiting on developing the medium format roll shot on the Hasselblad until I get back to...

There are a lot of things I’m going to miss about Tokyo when I leave. It always amazes me to see Japanese women going through the effort of wearing a kimono solely for the purpose of going to the park… I think I’m really going to miss the fact that Japanese people really care about...

A traditional dancing festival held in Kagurazaka, Tokyo. The participants shouted “This is our dance, we can’t stop dancing” over and over again. This festival went on for over three hours and was a crazy environment to be in. This is a sample of a selected set of 65 images that I will be making...
