Fuji x100F w/ TCL-x100 Teleconverter

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.

Streets of Tokyo with the Fuji x100F

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.

Photo of the Day - Waiting for a customer.

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.

Lorena

Had another shoot this past Sunday at Enve Model Management to photograph their newest model Lorena.  Lorena was a pleasure to work with and did really well for her first photo shoot.  Also got to see the life-size banner with one of the group shots I took last year.

The Girls of Enve

Over the years I've been fortunate to work with many talented and great people.  As a creative it's always a pleasure when you get the opportunity to work with other people who share your artist vision and appreciation for photography.  Recently I started what I hope to be an ongoing project working with a local Modeling Agency here in Okinawa.  Enve Model Management is home to a group of talented and energetic women who I believe are going to make a name for themselves in the modeling world.  We have several projects in the works and many more I hope coming in the future.  The photo below doesn't include all the girls as a few were not at the studio the day of this shot but hopefully at some point in the future I'll be able to post another photo with everyone's smiling face. :)

So without further adieu, meet The Girls of Enve.  From left to right, Marina, Marie, Shino, Natsumi and KT.

Thanks ladies for being so much fun to work with.  I'm looking forward to the amazing work I know we are all going to create.
