Don't know how many times I have been through Shinagawa station on the way to somewhere else and never stopped. Thanks for the pics - will check it out next time.
Danny, you definitely need Lightroom for your photos. It creates all those folders automatically as you import each time. LR will save you a boatload of time by the looks of how you currently do things. You can tag and categorise as much or as little...
Good to see photos from around Gakugei Daigaku again. We spent a couple of weeks around there when we stayed at Hotel Claska. Such a beautiful area. Looks like Kawasaki might be worth a look too.
Reminds me a bit of watching early Apple live broadcasts of keynote speeches 6-7 years ago. There was such a sense of excitement even though the picture quality was less than average but it was just great to feel like you were there in person. This i...
In the past 10 years or so in Australia more and more of these petrol/food stops have popped up, which is great. You used to get the dodgy two day old sandwich at the petrol station but now you have all the big name fast-food and heaps more to choose...
Thankfully we're a long way from major fault lines in Australia. You have to wonder whether the last 6 months of earthquake action in Japan is heading towards something bigger - let's hope not!
Very game of you posting those pics ^_^ I worked for a record company so got to go to all types of album launches and remember several for Kylie and one for Jason Donovan for his red covered album (can't remember the name). I think I remember a few D...
Love that back alley area of Shinjuku. It was a real surprise when I first stumbled across it - couldn't stop the camera with so many interesting things to shoot. Had my first chicken "gizzards" yakatori at a little hole in the wall place on the righ...
Dr Lee takes a great photo - different angles and DOF are a nice touch. That GF1 sure takes a great shot for a point and shoot (or an SLR). I am dead surprised by its quality. Might look at getting one as a walk around camera when the 5DMII is not re...
Thanks Danny - I really enjoy your Tokyo photo walks. Makes we want to be back there tomorrow. BTW with these long photo posts and no heights/widths on your images, trying to write a comment is next to impossible as the page re-renders itself as eac...
Silverkeeper is less than average but Carbon Copy Cloner may work for you if you have the Macbook Air's HD as your clone drive. Issue is that I am 99% sure the Air hasn't got the firewire port to enable target disk mode to happen. SuperDuper is possi...
I like mainly the photo walks around Tokyo from DC, Shibuya246 and a few others as they always show a different side of Tokyo that I may have not seen yet. The videos of different areas of Tokyo on Akihabara News are great for that too. I check out T...
Yeh we have been to Tokyo a few times in November and the few days we got of blue skies were just amazing. Going to try March next year for something different - hopefully just as nice (^_^)
ATM's are 24/7 in Australia and have been for as long as I can remember. We love any card they can release here (^_^) Only issue is the banks introduced a mandatory $2 fee to the place that houses the ATM machine so now we get charged by the bank to...
Great article - very inspirational. Over 7-8 years, I built up a large site (2 million+ page view/month) myself some time ago so I know what it takes to make things an "overnight success". Endless hours, seven days a week, running out of money, think...
So is it easy to get a game of golf in Japan as a walk up? Or are you able to play these courses because you know a member or are a member yourself? I remember the Japanese Tour makes a stop at one of the courses in/near Gotemba - is that close to wh...
Lucky bugger - what a great place to get a game in. Is the yellow grass just an issue with white balance or was it actually that colour? I had the impression that golf was mostly for members or priced too high for the average person to get a game?
Thanks Danny - had a look at the Grandberry website when we were last in Tokyo but it looked like a fairly soul-less place eg looks like a mall in the US. Much prefer the dirty little back streets of Tokyo to places like this - although wifey might d...
Looks really good so far. My biggest issue with most online stores at the admin end of things is the lack of ability to store multiple addresses for billing or shipping and/or multiple credit card details like Amazon do. The common scenarios are want...
