This is a shot I took a couple years ago with my iPhone 5s while my family and I were vacationing in Tokyo. This is from the top of the Ebisu Garden Palace building.

Leica Smartphone Coming
Definitely didn't see this one coming. According to Leica Rumors, Leica is partnering with Chinese smartphone manufacturer HUAWEI to build a smartphone using both HUAWEI and LEICA technology. Although the press release doesn't give us much in the form of details, I'm guessing this will be similar to LEICA's other partnerships like Panasonic where LEICA will provide the optics and pretty much everything else will be HUAWEI. This would enable HUAWEI to use the LEICA name —implying their smartphone camera is better than other because of this—while also allowing LEICA to test the smartphone waters for possible future "real LEICA" smartphones. Just my two cents on this news.
Apple may use Dual Camera Technology in the iPhone 7.
Rumors about the upcoming iPhone 7 have been pointing to possible use of dual camera technology. Dual Cameras basically means having one wide angle lens and one telephoto lens that when combined can reportedly offer better image quality, in addition to multiple focal lengths. This video from CNET shows what the fuss is all about and why we should care.
Photo of the Day - View of Nago
This past weekend my family and I drove up north to view cherry blossoms in Nago. We drove to the top of Nago Central Park where they have a great viewing spot. I took this with my iPhone 6s Plus using one of my favorite camera apps, 645 Pro and edited it in Adobe Lightroom Mobile.

Photo of the Day - Dancing in the rain.
Hope everyone is having a great day. Today's photo is a shot I took this summer with my Fuji X-Pro1 at a local festival. It had rained on and off most of the day and was drizzling during this performance. While the rain was an inconvenience, I do like how it adds contrast to the image colors and lighting.
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.
