The countdown begins. I am doing the Japan tour again in just three weeks! This time, it will be different; I’ll travel with friends, and my goals will be slightly more of a street photography style with the Sony A7r. That camera is so well adapted to that style that I might as well take advantage of it. I’ll be going to Okinawa as well. I’m interested in seeing what landscape I can find since I’ve never been there. It should be fun, and I’ll be posting a lot!

My Canon 5Dmkii has served me well. It’s still the best purchase I’ve ever made, and not a day goes by that I ever regretted owning it. It’s sad to retire it from my photography, but I’ll still use it for video. You can’t beat those Magic Lantern hacks.

Looking Back At Japan

Some of my old Japanese photos are from years ago. All shot with the Canon 5Dmkii.
