Hope that you have been enjoying my recent blogs about my travels through Tokyo in August of this year. I thought that I would put together a little blog about what sort of food and meals I enjoyed whilst I was there. I am not a food blogger so don’t expect a review-like read full…

Tokyo 2017 – My Daily Update Home – Part 5 (The rest of the day)

I didn’t get a chance to get a blog out last week. Turned out that my trusty MacBook Pro was feeling quite old and tired and one morning it just wouldn’t start up. And when it finally did it was malfunctioning and doing all sorts of crazy things. I knew this was was coming as…

Macro Photography – Fujifilm XF60mmF2.4 & MCEX-11

Since my return from Tokyo towards the end of August I have been in a considerable slump when it comes to my photography. I have not felt inspired or motivated to get out and capture any street photography. And what little I did capture has been as a result of having my Fujifilm X70 camera…

Tokyo 2017 – My Daily Updates Home Part 5 (Ghibli Museum)

Before I get into my blog I just wanted to make an observation. It feels like there are so many people I know currently in Japan or have just returned from Japan. Especially my photography friends.

On that evening I took with me my Fujifilm X-T2 and the Fujifilm XF23mmF2 lens. This combination performed exceptionally given the circumstances. It was a very…

Tokyo 2017 – Tokyo Taxi and my fascination with the seemingly mundane!

Welcome to another instalment in my recent travels to Tokyo. On each of my three trips to Japan over the last three years I have been fascinated with the quality and capacity of the public transport systems employed especially in the greater cities such as Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. Moving millions of people every day…

Tokyo 2017 – My Daily Update Home – Part 4

The previous day had been massive to say the least. Especially the night! You can read about that one here. It was not a terribly late night but one filled with much merriment and equal portions of Japanese beer. And it would be fair to say that I was feeling a little tired and dusty…

Shinjuku, Asakusa and Harajuku Streets – Tokyo 14 August 2017

My return to Tokyo was such a happy and fun and simply amazing experience. When I travelled to Tokyo in 2015 I mostly focused on Shibuya as at the time it was my first experience in Japan and I thought Shibuya was such an incredible and vibrant place. And it is. But I didn’t venture…
