I’m back in Tokyo after a short trip to Manila. I will be in Tokyo for 21 straight days! I know you are missing Tokyo photos here. I am missing taking them. Here are a few to hold you over for now… Today’s Configuration: Leica M Monochrome
I am continuing flashing Tokyoites with a deadpan look on their face… I am getting the hang of this and really getting a feel for which backgrounds work well with this. I really like how the images are coming out. Meet Frederique… Today’s Configuration:
I have been carrying my Leica M Monochrom 28mm lens and my small Leica flash for the past week. My shots while out on the street didn’t come out that great but I also didn’t really try that hard. I mostly spent my time shooting people. I think I am

I was recently recruited to a new company and will be starting a new job on Monday. I won’t go into the details here on ShootTokyo. You are welcome to guess but my answer/confirmation will be on my LinkedIn on Monday when I update it. I’ve had the past
One of the parts of Japanese culture I really love is Sayonara parties. It is a great way to honor and thank people who worked hard to help and support you. Jim came over from San Francisco to help us for a year and Friday was his last day in Japan before heading
I held another networking Happy Hour at Athemble in Marunochi last night. I previously held Happy Hours at Mood Board and So Tired (my favorite place to go eat after work). You see many photos of mabudofu in my Instagram stream from So Tired. I love that place.
I have been trying out a new approach of hosting ‘Happy Hours’ as a technique of team celebration coupled with company awareness/market awareness with a lot of success. In August I rented out the famous and trendy bar ‘So Tired’ in Marunochi
It has been a long few months at work and my team has been working really hard. Last night I rented out the famous and trendy bar ‘So Tired’ in Marunochi (near Ginza) and hosted a Happy Hour for my team and their friends.
