As I prepare to post my review, I thought I would share a couple photos. I love how my original TCL-x100 Teleconverter looks on my new x100F. I had originally purchased it with my black x100S, but I think I actually like this look better. I’ve now owned every x100 and the love affair just keeps growing with this camera.
This past July my daughter and I decided on a whim to take a trip to Tokyo for a few days. She was out of school for the summer and it was perfect for some quality father daughter time. It’s been two years since our last trip. Scary how fast time goes by. On my last trip to Tokyo I had just bought the x100T and was testing it out.
Hey everyone. Hope your all doing well today. I took this photo last year while testing my x100T that I had just upgraded to. The photo is part of a blog post I did on shop keepers in Naha. Click here to view that story. I love how he's surrounded with so much merchandise and yet everything looks in place.
Shot this recently at a storage place. I probably should have stepped to the left a little and that would have fixed the distortion at the bottom. I just really liked the colors of the green doors against the blue sky. I tend to switch between Classic Chrome (shown here), Classic Negative and Acros black and white, but I think Classic Chrome works well in this shot.

I was out for an afternoon walk last week and spotted this coin laundry and chicken restaurant. I love the backdrop of the sunset and the contrast of the yellow signs from the chicken restaurant. I took a couple of shots with my x100F and with my iPhone 12 Pro. The wider angles and HDR of the iPhone show the image in a different light but I like them both.

Happy New year, everyone. For the handful of people who still follow this blog, thank you. I hope you and your family have stayed safe during COVID-19 and persevered as best you could. 2020 was a crazy year. I’ll leave it at that. I spent my time diving into other interest and passions, and trying to consume as much new knowledge as possible, while attempting to maintain my own sanity amidst the insanity we all found ourselves engulfed in. I built a new website whynocode.com, a personal project to encourage and promote the no-code movement and community, and I started another personal blog onetobetter.com, where I plan to share thoughts and ideas on other interest I have outside photography. I’ll probably share some photos there too.

I’m optimistic 2021 will bring a light at the end of what felt like a never-ending tunnel, and we’ll see brighter days in the near future. We all have to believe good news is coming. Here’s to brighter days and blue skies ahead. Cheers.

Welcome to the first Mobile Monday post, dedicated to mobile only information and photos. I shoot more these days with my iPhone than with my beloved Fuji x100F. Sometimes I feel guilty and feel like I need to force myself to shoot more with my x100. Fact is though, it shouldn’t matter if I’m shooting with my iPhone, my x100F or any other camera.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. The holidays bring out the cameras, so take a few minutes to browse some of the tips below on taking better Thanksgiving photos. Enjoy.
I'm currently listening to several audiobooks, switching between them daily depending on my mood. Recently however, I was watching an video on Ali Abdaal on YouTube. I’m fascinated by Ali’s ability to be a full-time doctor and yet still find time to blog, create YouTube videos and in his spare time teach himself how to play guitar and piano. I secretly think he's superhuman, but I digress.
iPhone Photography School has great articles on getting the most out of your iPhone for photography. This recent article on shooting more interesting travel photos has some interesting and unique tips. Enjoy.
