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.

Since my return to Okinawa in the spring of 2010 I have vowed to take more photos and see more of this beautiful island than I did last time around in the 80's and early 90's. Okinawa Journal post will help me document and share where I've been and what I've seen.

Adorama recently released the Flashpoint 180 Monolight for a very affordable price of $199.00. This price includes the battery pack! Inexpensive portable (battery powered) lighting has been one of the remaining holy grails of photography, so while skeptical I was excited to get my hands on one of these and try it out. Full review to come.

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.

Lilies are in full bloom this time of year in Okinawa and can be seen all over the island. I took this photo outside Sam's by the Sea in Awase the other night while out with my family for dinner.
