Tokyo 2009 trip

[Koopa Troopa]

I finally dusted off the Nikon F100 so the majority of my pictures are on film. I took almost 6 rolls of film worth of pictures. I'm not pleased with how any of these pictures of the D90 turned up and for some reason they're all overexposed but whatever.. I didn't go to Tokyo for photography... This is just a small collection of my shots.. Please click the link for the set to see them all..

Went to Seeker, met Ryo Teraoka. Awesome dude and I look forward to seeing him again in the future. He gave me some free shit and we bullshitted for awhile.

On to Tokyo Disney Sea! Only rode 4 rides and was there for like 6 hours... But we drank a lot of beer!

The F100 in dire need of some grips.. However new grips would cost the same as another F100 so fuck it...

Went to Honda Twin Cam. The CRX SiR there was a customer car and the Feel's salesman was boasting 200ps, full tune engine. Car had an 80mm throttle body, ITR manifold and a pretty sweet Spoon 4-1 manifold from all I could see...
The salesman let me sit in the Honda Twin Cam Tsukuba car and let me make iVTEC noises and stuff.

We found this creepy ass old park while walking back from the tower.. I had a feeling like ninjas or a tentacle monster was going to get me the whole time I was there.

Multiple exposure with low light and no tripod is insanely difficult...

McDonalds is the same but better. The food you order actually looks like what's on the menu, the stores are always clean and the staff is always super friendly and enthusiastic about doing their jobs. Plus their uniforms are just so damned cute....

Yuo, that's my lady. No clue about customs. I'm in the military and stationed in Okinawa.

[ReyEG2]

awesome photography sir! now i know where i wanna go for my next summer vacation :)

[JDM Jon]

I always love your pictures man. What kind of lense is that which gives that sort of effect?

[Koopa Troopa]

It's a 10.5mm fisheye. I overuse it but honestly I think the world is too interesting to not use it because it can capture so much.

[JDM Jon]

That's what I thought it looked like but wasn't sure because most the time you can see the black housing of the camera in the pictures also.

Couldn't agree with you more.

Thanks. Long distance relationships suck but I always have a blast when I do get to be with my girlfriend. She's like a really fun friend that I get to have sex with.

[Koopa Troopa]

Got my film scanned today but I forgot a roll so I have to pick up my last roll of film on Thursday..
