The Restaurant in Tokyo that Inspired that Crazy Scene from Kill Bill When I was in Tokyo, I had a great time out with Altus! He stayed with me here in Austin, and we were able to meet up for a fun time of photography out in Tokyo. That’s one of the BEST things about having a blog, I must say! It gives me the chance to meet all kinds of nice people like YOU that extend gracious invitations for photography! After dark, Altus took me to this cool restaurant (btw, the original sized version has nice details on Flickr!) The manager was very nice and let us sit where we wanted and then a carte-blanche for taking photos. He asked if I would send him photos and if I charge… and I told him no… I do this stuff for fun! So, we have a smart and well-movied community here – who can tell me the name of this restaurant? - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Pool That Taunted Me in Jogjakarta Can you believe that I looked at that pool every day and I never got in? It was there day after day… alluring and perfect… looking warm and fun… I would walk around it, admire it, take photos of it, pass it on the way to the spa… I did just about everything to that pool but get in. I thought about it a lot, for whatever that’s worth (a lot, actually, I have an active imagination). But next time I get there, I’m goin’ in… I think about what those little tiles will feel like slippin’ around under my toes… It’s gonna be great! - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The River that Ran Through Lyon at Midnight I walked around Lyon at midnight with a Russian friend.  He saw me walking with my camera attached to my tripod and the strap hanging down.  He winced, saying he saw one of his friend's cameras just drop off the head and crash to the ground.  He forced me to wrap the strap around the tripod just in case... and I still do that to this day, thinking about is disapproving Russian scowl.  I don't need to see that it my mind's eye...Trey's Tip:  I like HDR for many reasons.  In this case, I really like how it ghosted he water and made it look quite painterly.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
