A friend recently forwarded me a link to a great post on his blog about balancing multiple passions. As many of you know, I have a busy full time job in Tokyo, outside of photography, and do a pretty good job of balancing the “day-job” with my photography related activities. It ain’t easy, and I touch on this below, but basically, I really enjoyed the article, and sent some comments to my friend about what he’d written.
First, you’ll probably want to read the article, Managing multiple passions- make most of your hidden talents, by Anuj Magazine, and then come back here and read my comments on the article, with some advice of my own on this subject.
And here are my comments:
I read your blog post with great interest. You write very well, and although I intended to scan over it, I ended up reading it fully.
I thought the [...]

The MBP Roundtable is back, after a two year break! Today I chat with Landon Michaelson and Dan Newcomb on some great photography related topics!
Landon Michaelson is a passionate photographer who enjoys photography, in some way, every day. In Landon’s day job as Lead Designer he gets to do a lot of photo making and uses them in layouts. He also owns Best Kept Secret Photography.
Dan Newcomb, A.K.A. Mr. Nikon in the MBP Forums, is a photo enthusiast from Vancouver, Canada. His day job as a technician in the telecom industry keeps him rather busy but he always makes the time for his photographic passion.
There’s no transcript for today’s Podcast as it was recorded live, but here are some of the photographs mentioned. Listen to the conversation in iTunes or with the audio player linked below.
The next four images are the Before and After images from Jared Fein [...]

Huh?
As 2009 draws to an end, I’m once again going to look back at the year, and see how I did against the want-to-do list that I set for myself for this year, and talk a little about what I plan to do in 2010. Note that I called it a want-to-do list, because I have resigned myself to the fact that there are things that I will just not have time to do. I like to aim pretty high though, and at least succeed in some areas, even if I don’t achieve everything that I’d like to do. As long as I accomplish some of the stuff, or redirect my energies somewhere that I can live with, then I’m happy.
The first thing on my list from 2009 was to plan the 2010 Hokkaido Workshop as soon [...]

On Saturday night after I’d had a shower and ready to go to bed, I had a change of heart, and packed my camera and lenses etc. and jumped into the car and drove for four hours from Tokyo to the Urabandai area of Fukushima Prefecture in northern Japan. The autumn colour is setting in, and I wanted to get a few shots in the early hours, so leaving in the morning was not an option.
As I prepared to leave though, I checked the time of the sunrise with my iPhone app Magic Hour, and also noted that there was no moon on Oct 17, 2009, which means good conditions for photographing the stars in the night sky, if it is clear of course.
I arrived in the area at about 3:30AM, and about 40 minutes driving around trying to find a good spot to park and set up my camera. [...]
