As a Nikon shooter since 1979, makes me very happy to see this crazy expensive, state of the art camera with a Nikkor Ai or Ai-S lens from the 70s/80s on it. Awesome. 20,000,000 frames a second. Where the speed of light is reduced to the speed of sound. youtu.be/IM4zZchluX0?...

Nice way to end a nice couple of days shooting with the visiting minister and local Tokyo staff of Freistaat Bayern. Views from the roof of the building they have their office in. Off home now to upload today’s shots. Then start my weekend.

Great shot from Edward. And my hawk moth version from 2005.

Looking likely that I'll be in Japan for a few weeks around December/January. Potentially available here and there to do guest lectures at unis - DM if keen. Would need travel expenses covered but otherwise happy to volunteer time if scheduling works out.

Flashback to 2014 and the opening of the new international terminal at Haneda Airport. I’d done a 51-day trip as part of a crew shooting video and stills for the 16x2m screen. These just a few of the many images. And it encompassed fashion, too. As we took a model on the 2nd leg of the trip.

Another pause in proceedings for me, as I await the next photo op with the German minister I’m shadowing these past couple of days. And a lovely view of Azabudai Hills. iPhone 12Pro and 65x24 app by @heliographe.studio

A couple of photos from Hibiya Park a few years back. A favourite bench at a favourite time of day. Looking forward to some autumn colour soon.

Good morning. Up since early and already on location with the client. Shooting through til about 5 or 6pm today. But, in the gaps, posting a few bits and pieces. Couple of gritty in-camera double exposures from 2010/11. Have a great day, whatever you’re doing. Luv&peace 🙏🏻❤️

You can find my photography at our podcast's red bubble shop. It's nothing special, but it's neat to see it alongside the podcast work I do. I've got more to add tomorrow. www.redbubble.com/people/youra...

Good morning. Gonna be back up to 32C here in Tokyo. Thankfully, most of my shoot with a visiting politician is across a series of indoor locations. Nothing like trying not to look like a sweaty mess in the presence of dignitaries. Pic from the print store. Luv&peace ❤️🙏 shorturl.at/VlmT7

"Surveillance Pricing" Where you search from affects the price you pay. What kind of device you're searching from effects the price you pay. Identified as someone who is living in a "vulnerable area"? You'll pay more. Companies "think" you can pay more because of where and who you are.

Colin Jones was once described as ‘The George Orwell of British Photography. He began his career as a dancer with The Royal Ballet, before buying his first camera in Japan whilst running an errand for Margot Fonteyn and then never looked back.

Every time I hear Sikorski speak, I feel the world needs more people with his backbone, intelligence and experience.

Exactly. Japan should stop kissing America's arse, bowing to their pressure and do this. It's the right thing to do. Palestinian freedom is linked to freedom for us all. And America's complicity in Israel's genocide has gone on long enough.

Featuring a few items available in my print store this week. There's been a fair bit going on during summer but, honestly, I could use a little boost financially right now. So, reposts of the print store posts are welcome. Many thanks. japanorama.darkroom.com/products/124...

Great that a bunch of countries are now, finally, recognising Palestine. But is the world actually gonna do something about Israel?

Lunar occultation of Venus on Friday lunchtime. Finally got home to my PC and a chance to process my images. As it was the middle of the day, I used a red filter to increase contrast, which has helped emphasise the clouds. This is the last image I took, seconds before the planet disappeared 🔭

Had a couple of drinks and I’m on YouTube watching “Field of Dreams” clips. Again. Remembering sunny afternoons turning into dusk, and then the evening. Playing cricket with my late dad in the 70s and early 80s. Shares in Kleenex would have been a good move. youtu.be/3XS2UtAlmX4?...

Bought my first camera, an E-M10 ii, a year ago this week. I have a touch of GAS so I've upgraded, but I took it out with a new manual lens this week to see what I can do with it after a year of practice. A great camera! #stunday #photography #butterflies #ColorADay #OrangeSun #SleepySep #lavender
