The Fuji x100T

Since the announcement of the Fuji x100T I've been fighting the urge to upgrade my original Fuji x100 that I've owned for several years. My Fuji x100 was my daily street fighter and has traveled with me all over the world and had proven itself over and over. Last month I finally gave in and decided to pick up the Fuji x100T to see if it would really change anything for me and surprisingly yes it did! The Fuji x100T totally has changed my work flow of how I do things. The ability to wifi .jpg photos over to my phone or tablet alone has been worth the upgrade. Here's an example of what I mean... I was at a family party and took a good number of photos (about 80), I then transferred the photos instantly to my iPhone and "Air Dropped" them to everyone at the party who had an iPhone. These were all high qualtiy .jpg's already processed with Fuji's Classic Chrome in the camera. The key thing here for me was not having the need for a laptop to download the photos, process, then upload for all to see and share. Oh did I mention I did this all within 15minutes while still at the party? Now tell me that is not a game changer? I'll be heading off to the Caribbean in the near future so I'm really juiced at seeing how the Fuji x100T will differ from the original x100 with my travel photography. For now here are some everyday photos I've taken with the Fuji x100T over the last month of owning it, note these are all straight out of the camera using only Fuji's Classic Chrome in camera .jpg preset.

"The Golden Land"

Myanmar, all I can say is wow! A country filled with so much culture, smiling faces, and golden Pagodas everywhere (yes everywhere!). As someone who loves to document everyday life with a camera, I felt so alive creatively. I often found myself people watching and composing scenes in my head before pressing the shutter button of my camera. Below are photos I took around Yangon to Inle Lake (located in the Shan State). I left this country energized with a feeling to travel more to experience everyday life in new places. There is still so much more I want to explore here and I'm looking forward to the day I return.

Japan

1996 was the last time I visited Japan and back then I didn't care about photography, traveling, or even Japanese food. At that time I went along with my parents to visit family members we had living in Tokyo. Fast forward to 2013... This time around things were definitely going to be different. I made sure to appreciate every little thing and adsorb as much of the culture as I could. Sensory overload would be a good way to describe my experience, I even slept through a 7.1 earthquake. I'd like to thank my cousins Lester & Jaydee for taking the time to be my guides, you can check out Lester's portfolio here:
