Hey dude,
This really is a fantastic thread!!
A coupla questions.
Is the Aomori trip work or pleasure?
And, if it's not too much to ask, would you mind telling me the lenses used and the settings for these images you posted? (see below)

I love low-light shots and was just curious as to whether these were just very well-done (I'm sure they were) or enhanced via post-processing?
As a (very) amateur photographer I would appreciate any light (muwahhhahh) you could shed upon the creation of these images.
Also, I assure you I will buy you that beer I promised a few months ago!!
My family has been back 3 times this year and I have had to miss each trip due to work commitments!!
Maybe we could drag Guy along as well!

Hey there Rhino.

My trip to Aomori was work. I had a bit of a nice time and spent a few hours each day just 'wandering' but overall it was pretty busy.

As for the lens used in those images, it is a VERY cheap lens, the Tamron 10-24mm wide-angle. Not quite a fish-eye, but still gives enough distortion to be worth editing afterwards.

None of the images I have posted have been edited after they were taken.

If you and Guy can make it out to Ueno or even Tokyo, I'd be more than happy to share a bar-tab with you boys.

Oh I wish I were an Oscar meier weiner.
Having fun tonight everyone??? After two bottles of Dom, in having a pretty good time. On my way back to Ueno from Roppongi at the ANA Intercon Hotel. The only ppl who'll be seeing THESE photos are those of you who buy MOODYZ DVDs, fuck I love my job sometimes. Yurie Illie, Tiffany Rossdale, Anna, Lore and a few others along with Fox Japan came out.

THIS is why so many people here need to pit down their cock and go out and fo something with their lives that doesn't involve playing D&D with their other fat, unbathed, unshorn friends.

I'm drunk but you people reading this still should take this to heart and quit beating off to cartoons, unless you enjoy the pleasure of a mans hand over a womans....

Sorry guys (and gal - yea, all one of you). I've been busy with work and doing up parties here, there and everywhere along with running my business and exporting items. Funny that the items I sell are the same one's that J-List has advertised in the little ad on the side of my page as I type this (Mont Blanc Pepsi, Pumpkin Pocky, Morinaga Caramel and others - just sent 30 packs of Japanese mint-ball cigarettes back to Canada, hurray!).

Anyways, I'll try and throw in an update, even if it's a small one but FaceBook's new Java bullshit is a pain in my fucking ass as I can't left-click on the images since they implemented the 're-arrange' bullshit java-script.

Just because I know how you all hate foreigners as much as I do, something to piss you right off - from the floor of Dance Studio FAB in Roppongi.

At Fuji Speedway

Toyota spotted conducting secret testing at Fuji Speedway... They have asked me not to say who the driver is...

71952_10150307041555402_513905401_15718125_7270528_n.jpg

Just had a drag race with a Mitsuoka Orochi! I guess he must be sad about his loss.

Talk about shameful rip offs. Probably one of the prettier French cars on the market though...
