A Morning Walk in Miyazato, Okinawa

A Morning Walk  in Miyazato, Okinawa

Recently I took an early morning walk around the neighborhood of Miyazato in Okinawa City with my Fuji X-Pro1. The quiet this time of day was therapeutic, interrupted only occasionally by the sounds of traffic from nearby highway 330, and reminded me how enjoyable it can be to shoot early in the day.

Everyday Okinawa with the Fuji TCLx100

Everyday Okinawa with the Fuji TCLx100

One of the things I miss most about living and working in the city is having to drive everywhere. I love cars, but as a photographer I am always seeing photos when I'm driving. I keep my camera within easy reach, usually in my bag, but it can be difficult, and dangerous trying to shoot and drive. Most of the time the only shots I can get are while waiting at an intersection, although occasionally I can grab a shot or two one handed from the window.

Nightfall in Chatan

Nightfall in Chatan

We finally got some decent weather yesterday after a week of rain, clouds and cold. I decided to head over to Chatan and walk around with my iPhone 6 and my Fuji x100s. Just for a change I've had the TCLx100 on for a couple weeks now. I love the 35 equivalent I get from my x100s, but sometimes it's just nice to shoot with a 50mm focal length. I never grow tired of how even the most mundane can look interesting in late afternoon light. I shot the next two images from my car. I see so many photos from my car, but usually can't stop or get to my camera in time.

Friday the 13th and Triskaidekaphobia

Here's an interesting tidbit on this beautiful Friday the 13th. Seems like there's a phobia for everything these days, so I guess it should come as no surprise there's a word for fear of the number 13. Who knew?
