May 17 Spring Focus

This spring is off to a fast start. I have had a few trips already. I got back from Manila on Saturday and just landed in Bangkok now. Off to LA in a few more weeks...

I have been very focused on a pet project for the past few months using what little free time I have on it. 20 minutes here, 30 minutes here, a Saturday afternoon here. It's amazing how much you can get done with little focused amounts of time.

I just did the final sprint over the Golden Week holiday. I'll announce it out here in a month or two. In the mean time I need a few 'testers'. If you are someone like me who likes nice cameras, nice pens and nice watches, you will probably like this as well. If this sounds like you, and you are willing to spend a little money (~$100 or so), drop me a line and I'll introduce you to what I have been doing.

Today's Configuration: Leica M9-P with a Summilux 35mm f/1.4

I laugh every time I see this. This is one of those business ideas that make no sense to me. Who thought a battery vending machine was needed?

I missed most of the cherry blossom season this year with all of my travel. I was able to get out for a short walk on the last weekend they were in bloom to take a few photos.

I shot my 50mm for the first time in a long time. I have been mostly shooting my 28mm and 35mm the most lately. I miss my Noctilux sometimes...

I never get tired of cherry blossom season...

I think the neighbors are moving...

My beautiful wife Mayumi. Just an amazing mother and wife. Happy Mother's Day to all Moms out there.

Mayumi and I just passed the 14th Anniversary of our 1st date. We now enter our 15th year together. Pretty amazing. She knows me better than anyone and supports me through everything.
