2025 was full of creativity behind the lens. View a bit of my journey. It's a good use of 4:38 minutes.

OH! I forgot about my portrait session the other day. WTF? Haha!

Lounge area. Sangenjaya, Tokyo. Vintage vibes, not just from my take, but from this whole scene. This building screamed 1970s in more ways than one.

I look forward to being in the US for the holidays. Seriously. So often, this place makes me lonely, forgotten, and without purpose.

The dark corners of Tokyo bring comfort and consolation in a time of distress. Millions of people visit and live here, so finding "quiet" spots are revered destinations.

No Chat GPT didn't f'n write this.

I'm working on a 2025 summary video. It'll be a bit of B-roll and voiceovers. I love recording those.

A sample. "...a ton of grain, intense tones and temperatures, vibrance, and color grading that makes your images feel like you’ve shot a roll of film in a dark and dirty rainy alley in the 1970s."

I'm almost at 1900 subs on my #YouTube channel. That space is a wild one, because I don't want to have a channel that's like everyone else's. I have a few ideas that I'm working on, so if you want to come along for the ride, plz subscribe!

Hello? Yeah, it's me. Did you pick up the whatever from wherever? OK, good. Now listen, you need to get on with your なになに and move forward with the なになに. Right. TTYL.

Leaving one chair and on the way to another. *Tokyo at night is so much more than Shibuya Crossing.

People of Sangenjaya - Rainy nights make for epic images. This area is TOPS for me when shooting a hyper-local vibe. Never fails. Large up to Taylor Jackson for hangin'.

Back streets of Akihabara on film. I've had many chats about Kentmere Pan 200 lately, and for good reason! The stock kicks booty. Tomorrow, I'll shoot a roll of this in the sun. We shall see! I have a feeling it's gonna rock my socks off, per usual.

Ahoy, from Tokyo! I've been having a good time capturing some cool spots around town with a new lens. I traded a bunch of stuff for it, so that's a win! Another win is finding some cool scenes to shoot. Here's my story. #YouTube #Leica #Summarit #Tokyo #StreetPhotography

Tokyo is massive, but I can always find something that stands out. It's not neon signs or massive intersections that beckon tourists for their moment frozen in time. It's something else.

Tokyo film wanderings ~ I like how this particular film shows the textures, contrasts, and elements of the scene differently than some stocks I'm used to. Kentmere Pan 200 is a gem and is easily editable, which I love.

First shots with the Leica 35mm Summarit f2.5 — I'm downsizing my stable of "stuff". This means cameras, lenses, etc. Selling a bunch of things to bring in one thing feels good to me. Less is more, I say.

Basically, this means I'm entering a building that's groovy old.
