More shots from the Canon 20D

My S14 - Yuki (famous Instagrammer) - Betty Boop's severed head.

I was given a free Canon 20D recently. I've taken it out to play from time to time, and for some reason, there is something about the look from it's 13 year old sensor, that I really like.

Middle-of-nowhere Japan

Hung over, I went out shooting with one of my oldest friends and one of my newest friends in Japan. We had no fancy landmarks, no special events, and nothing really noteworthy for kilometers around us... Which is the best place in Japan to be.

Be sure to follow my friends on Instagram:

Ray(MadAfro), a drunk, 80D autofocus & more...#7Days7Minutes (2016-04-25)

Only a month behind... thats pretty good by my standards :p
April was the month for visitations. One of my oldest and best mates spent 3 weeks with us. fortunately for you, most of the shenanigans were not caught on camera. There is some gratuitous Shibuya too, as always.

Halloween 2015 - Bar PSY #BecauseJapan

A Tribute and Farewell to my Old Buddy

Financial woes have forced me to part with my well used, trusty Lumix GH1. It has been my backup camera up till now for all the times the GH3 messed it's pants and needed to be sent back to Panasonic for repairs. It was my first Digital interchangeable lens camera and my first proper camera that I bought with my own money.

A Legendary Ride (Matt's Honda Ape 50cc)

This bike belongs to the legendary Matthew James Jewell.

Andrew has taken care of it for the past few years and it has served him admirably in that time.

Since he doesn't ride it anymore and I rather desperately need transportation, Andrew is passing it on to me. It is still in his name but I'll be riding and taking care of it for the time being.

Once the Jibaiseki hoken (mandatory insurance... ie: more stupid, unnecessary taxes) is renewed You can expect that I will be a drastically happier man being freed from the shackles of the trains. When it isn't raining at least.

Matt may no longer be, but his legend lives on and even now, It appears that he's got my back.

Sexpot Night 2013-08-24

edited: 2013-09-24 Mixed up Nowhere Divine's Bassist and Guitarist's names. Thanks Mike ;)

I have been buds with Ryo from Sexpot Revenge for a while now. He always invites me to these events of his on FB and whenever I meet him in moshpits or at the store he keeps asking when I intend to attend one. When I was in Gunma however, getting here wasn't the easiest task.... Now I haven't got that excuse anymore
