My old Nikon D1H has been refitted to a D1L (Lomography). It is now mated permanently to a 20mm fisheye Dianna F lens.I can only hope the D1L shares the same level of success post-refit that my old D1 did after going being retrofitted in to the D1i (Infrared)

To add to the next gallery exhibit, “Densha de Go!!” I will be returning to Japan in March of next year for one week. I hope to get some mdoel photography in with a couple Japanese mdoels I have been talking to on Mayhem.I also plan to get tons of street, and railway shots as well.

Long overdue update. I just wanted to note that the new gallery pages are done, and a new flash based image delivery subsystem has been installed for several of the galleries. Enjoy.

I know it’s been a while since I last updated the blog. I am planning more site changes soon. Will update when the changes are done.

Work on new xtml files are underway. possible downtime may occur.

After nearly two years, the new website is hopefully set to launch shortly. I’m looking to have a new flash driven website designed to utilize the new widescreen displays that have become the standard over the past few years.

I am proud to announce that as of May 2009, the Shashinka Ichiban Syndicate has two new photo galleries on display on the JRM (Japan Rail Modeler’s) website. The JRM is America’s premier Japanese model railroad organization. We are very proud to have our work exhibited on their site.

Japanese Commuter Gallery

I haven’t updated lately as there is not much to mention since the recssion has hit. This spring, however I am looking forward to several exciting shoots in Japan.

The long over due updates to the fashion page have been completed. Je mata.

It’s been a long week, and Fashion Week 2008 is finally over. This year I shot along side fellow photographers from BCSCott Photo, and Studio C. After two long nights of shooting, total shot count exceeded over a thousand. First round sorting brought that number down to three hundred. As you might be able to pick up, this will be a very short entry as the amount of time required on post process is going to be a very long one.
