+1 for charity

March 15, 2014 – 14:08
I know I've posted this image previously – early last year in fact.  However, I've decided to submit it for the +Plus One Collection  project as well 🙂

You can get involved too!  More information regarding this project can be found here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+IvanMakarov/posts/c54Y13Ljif2

The theme this year is "Our World", in the categories "Our Planet", "Our People", and "Our Creations".  This time, the charity being supported is the Samburu Project, which aims to provide clean, safe drinking water in Kenya.  http://www.thesamburuproject.org/

So chip in any way you can!  Submit your images, get the book (or e-book) when it comes out (it's always a fantastic collection of images), or just spread the word.  

Good night from Tokyo!  🙂

Tokyo Marathon

February 22, 2014 – 13:28
Tomorrow's the day of the 2014 Tokyo Marathon… and I'm participating!  The problem is – I've barely practiced…

I started practicing in the months of October and November, but when the cold weather started, I retreated into hibernation mode.  😛

So we'll see how it goes tomorrow.  I'm sure I can complete stamina-wise – I'm just not certain if I can make it within the allotted cutoff points  (>_<)

Below are shots I took during last year's marathon – if you get a chance to check out the streets of Tokyo tomorrow, you might see similar characters running by (including me lagging behind waaay in the back).

I'm off to bed – need as much rest as possible.  Good night from Tokyo!

Snowpocalypse

February 14, 2014 – 13:51
Tokyo is once again experiencing some unprecedented snowfall today, and it's expected to carry on at least overnight.  Snow is still relatively exciting for me to see, and (as long as I'm appropriately dressed) I rather enjoy stomping through the drifts.  🙂

It was already snowing briskly when I left home around 6AM this morning, and these shots are just a few images I took on the way home early this evening.  I knew I didn't want to lug the D800e around with me (snow + wind + umbrella + work bag does not make for a stable environment, which is a requirement for that camera), but I dug out my old X10 and had a bit of fun shooting on my way home.

Nothing too fancy, just scenes of today's snowstorm around Jiyugaoka 🙂

Snow monks

February 13, 2014 – 22:36
This photo was actually taken last week , during the big snowstorm that buffeted Tokyo.  If I recall what the news said – the most snow to hit Tokyo in almost half a century?  

Regardless, I ventured out to the same location I went to last year – Meiji Jingu shrine, and shot around a little, joined later by +adithya anand and +Aaron Tang .  

I hope to upload the rest of my images later (still struggling with website configuration as I mentioned forever ago), but thought it would be appropriate to post this today since we're experiencing another round of heavy snow in Tokyo this morning.

Stay warm, stay safe, and TGIF all.

Not a peep

January 27, 2014 – 13:26
It's been way too long since my last post; the usual work amongst other things.  🙁

One thing I've been trying to work on is revamping my website.  I use wordpress, and I had a nice fullscreen theme that I was using.  However as it wasn't maintained/updated (it was freeware), it gradually experienced various compatibility issues with plugins and WP in general.  I've since gone back to the default WP theme.

Currently trying to find another theme that I'd be happy with, but haven't had much luck so far.  Anyone have any recommendations for a good photography-based WP theme?  😉

I've been looking at getting someone via http://fiverr.com/ to help me- has anyone used them before and have someone on there that they can recommend? 

G'night from Tokyo!
