Habits, Voting for a Better You

One of my favorite books I’ve read over the past year, and one that has had the greatest impact on my life is Atomic Habits by James Clear.

Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you want to become.

Shot on iPhone - #ComicCon

Shot on iPhone - #ComicCon

This week on #ShotOniPhone I thought I would share a few portraits I took this past weekend at Comic Con Okinawa, which is an annual event hosted by Marine Corps Community Services on Camp Foster Okinawa for Marines, their families and the community. I decided to play around with the “Portrait Mode” on my iPhone X and use it to capture portraits of characters from the event.

ShootLighter has always been about lighter, mobile-friendly photography. Sometimes my beloved Fuji x100 series camera is the star of the show, and sometimes it’s my iPhone or DXOOne connected camera. Apple has been promoting #ShotOniPhone for a few years now since the introduction of the iPhone 6, so I thought I would start a weekly “Shot on iPhone” series, a recap of my favorite iPhone photos from that week, or recently.

New iPhone Xs Max Video

Apple has released “Growth Spurt”, a video promoting the new iPhone Xs Max. It’s a cool whimsical piece highlighting the camera combined with the huge 6.5” OLED display. Check it out below.

Denver with the iPhone X

Denver with the iPhone X

This past April I went to Denver for the annual #GSMCON Government Social Media Conference. Normally, I would always travel with my Fuji x100F, but this time I decided to only take my iPhone X and leave behind my beloved x100F. I was looking for a way to travel lighter and with my shiny new iPhone X only a few months old still, it seemed like a good idea.

The last couple years, and especially since the release of the iPhone 7 and the end of the headphone port it seems everybody and their brother has entered the wireless earbud market. Apple and Many others are now all competing for our money.

As I prepare to post my review, I thought I would share a couple photos. I love how my original TCL-x100 Teleconverter looks on my new x100F. I had originally purchased it with my black x100S, but I think I actually like this look better. I’ve now owned every x100 and the love affair just keeps growing with this camera. 

Apple Watch Series 3 LTE in Japan

Apple Watch Series 3 LTE in Japan

This weekend I drove over to AU, my cellular carrier here in Japan to pickup my new Series 3 w/ LTE Apple Watch that I ordered a couple weeks ago. I have the original Series 0 and I've been waiting for enough feature additions to justify an upgrade.
