Yoyogi park weekdays, fishing in Nagano and more...#7Days7Minutes (2016-05-16)

A slightly more abstract video than the last, and a bit rushed on the cuts, but I need to make a point of pushing through the backlog, so quality may suffer.

Otherwise, I don't get on camera this week either. For which, you're probably better off.

Meeting Dave, small-town Tokyo, local shrines and more... #7Days7Minutes (2016-05-04)

Finally met Dave Coulson, the man behind Hong Kong How it is. He's a  Hong-Kong based pro-tog who is currently shining a light on the reality of what's happening in Hong Kong as China tightens it's grip on the city.

The rest are my usual missions about town, though for a change, I shot places I've never shown you before.

Sakura Nights #RandomJapan

Approaching midnight, in a quiet residential park, in a bed-town southwest of the Tokyo madness, the atmosphere is as perfect as the sakura.

60p, a murder in Yoyogi Park, Jiyugaoka and more... #7Days7Minutes (2016-02-08)

#7Days7Minutes is all I have time for these days, and sadly I'm not going anywhere, or doing anything all that interesting either.

Yet things are still behind here because of work.

I'm wading through a crap project which is the culmination of a long line of crappy deals, but unlike all the others, there is an actual paycheque (albeit a tiny one), rather than the mere promise 'exposure', so like a victim of domestic abuse, I keep crawling back for more punishment, and this channel and my physical/mental health suffers for it.

But I grind on, and while they are late, I'll keep pumping out some sort of content here and on instagram (https://www.instagram.com/darcnoodles/), till I eventually have that aneurysm.

Classic Cruiser - Mercedes-Benz 350SL #JapaneseRides

Mercedes-Benz' are fast. put your foot down and they haul you forward at great haste. Turn the steering and they continue forward at great haste. But despite their massive size, weight, obnoxious presence and generally bad handling compared to their peers, even they make the occasionally desirable vehicle. My favourite is the 350SL, and this example with a sorted suspension and big wheels was the perfect example of the timeless shape, stance and beauty of the only Benz I'd ever choose to own. A classic coupe for cruising in comfort.
