The Inner Sanctum Here is a cool and relatively unknown place in San Francisco.  Can anyone figure out where this mysterious location is?I went in here with my dad while we were looking for cool photo-ops.  We weren't so sure we were allowed in this place, but we just busted in quickly for a shot before anybody said anything.- Trey Ratcliff Read more here at stuckincustoms.com.
The Metal Moose After the book party in Chicago (thanks again for all of you that showed up!), we had a little photowalk the next day.  Along the way, we stopped outside an office building near Michigan Avenue that had this enormous metal moose.  I'm not a big fan of taking photos of art, but this was an exception.  - Trey Ratcliff The rest of this entry, as well as plugs for a few eBooks by friends of mine, is here.
Tokyo Tunnel During a fun photowalk in Tokyo, we were doing our best to get a city shot around sunset.  We speculated that perhaps the best way to get from Point A to a mysterious Point B was to go through this tunnel.  It didn't quite get us where we wanted to go, but we did arrive someplace different.  - Trey Ratcliff The full post is available here.
A Silent Evening in Kyoto Under the Cherry Blossoms The beautiful white cherry blossoms were in full bloom and their gentle petals would fall down like snow, collecting on the ground.To get here to Kyoto, I took the bus from Osaka — and this was not the most simple thing in the world. I’m used to traveling in strange places and getting around confusing transport systems, but that doesn’t mean it is always easy! The Japanese transportation system is particularly perplexing. The train system is the easiest to figure out. The bus system is second. The subway is last — dead last.Many of these places I end up have no one that speaks English, so there’s a bit of guesswork involved. After I’m on a bus for 5-10 minutes, I start to have a sneaking suspicion that perhaps I am on the wrong one! With no one to ask or no one to call, it’s a bit more uncertain than I prefer it!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Mysteries of Rodeo Drive I have a long-format piece coming up about something very cool in California.  While I was putting together that whole piece, I made some time to get out at night for some HDRs. There's one very strange and mysterious store right in the middle of Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.  Who can figure out what is happening in this photo?  - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest of this entry, including some news on an upcoming long-format piece as well as a new print, at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Red Room, Revisited Frequent visitors will recognize this amazing place in Chicago. It is the Crimson Lounge, and this is where we had the big book party in Chicago.  - Trey Ratcliff Read more of this entry at the Stuck in Customs Blog.
Mikimoto It wasn't until my third trip to Tokyo that I finally got to explore more of Ginza.  It's a pretty high-toned area that is filled with the best of the best.  Every elite store you can think of is fully represented, and the designers have pulled out all the stops to make sure they get noticed.Although not on the main street, this amazing Mikimoto store grabbed my eye.  I walked around the building a few times to find an interesting angle and shot away!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Ginza, Tokyo in the Rain It had been raining all afternoon and it continued right through dusk.  Luckily, the D3X seems impervious to rain, ice, sleet, and snow (deep experience in all four), so I just ignored all the elements in this case too.Ginza is a really cool, upscale area of Tokyo.  The buildings are huge and gleaming with every possible color.  It comes alive right at dusk.  I ran out into the middle of the street to do my best to capture all the action of the scene.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Manhattan Living When I was in New York City, I had the good fortune to spend time with Steve Simon.  We had breakfast at this great little French place and then went around to do a bit of shooting.  We stopped at his place and went up to the roof.  Peering over the side, I saw this and thought it was kinda nice... so I grabbed a quick one.Be sure to visit Steve's site on the link above.  He has amazing work and I am sure you will get a kick out of it!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
