Not the best of weather on day 2 in Tokyo. Rain, wind, and cold, but when Mother Nature gives you lemons...
Rainy Day in Tokyo
Tokyo Street with the iPhone 6 Plus Day 1
We arrived in Tokyo yesterday afternoon, dropped off our stuff at the hotel, and took the train to Shibuya. My daughter wanted to shop at H&M, so while she shopped I shot some street. Coming from small town Okinawa Tokyo, especially Shibuya, is nirvana for street photography, as most big cities are I'm sure. I had my Fuji x100s around my neck, but I've really been wanting to put the iPhone 6 Plus to the test and shoot street with it. At first the light wasn't all that great, but then as we were heading back to Shibuya station the late afternoon sunlight started beaming between the buildings, and suddenly I started seeing photos everywhere.
Tokyo Bound with the Fuji x100s
Good morning everyone, or good evening depending on what part of the world your in. I'm at the airport heading out to Tokyo with my daughter for a few days. Gear for this trip will be my trusty x100s, TCL-x100 Teleconverter, and my iPhone 6 Plus. I've got my iPad Air in case I need the larger screen for editing in Lightroom Mobile.
Apple's Watch Marketing Springs to Life
The powerful marketing arm of Apple is winding up in the March issue of Vogue, with a multi-page ad showcasing the design of not only the watch, but the variety and styling of the bands as well. The watch is featured at life-size, which for most of us will be the closest we've come to seeing the real thing. Click below to see the story and shots of the ad in MacRumors.com.

Hazy Manzamo Sunset
I know it seems like I'm posting too many sunsets this week, but I was in the Manzamo area tonight, so I stopped to spent a few minutes enjoying the hazy sunset we were having. The sailboat, or whatever that type of boat is called, came into the picture just as the sun was nearing the low clouds that seem to always be there during sunset in Okinawa.
Sunset Silhouettes with the iPhone 6 Plus
Living on a tropical island, sunsets are taken for granted. We all notice them, but seldom take the time to stop and enjoy them. The other day I decided I was due for a little sunset therapy, so I drove over to Araha Beach in Chatan. Even though, as always my trusty Fuji x100s was in my bag, I reached for my iPhone 6 Plus. Sometimes it's just more fun to challenge myself and use my iPhone.
Okinawa City Street
Good morning and Happy Friday! Today's photos are from Okinawa City, in and around Goya. I took both of these with my Fuji X-Pro1 and 18mm lens. Enjoy. :)
