• Weirdo

    Spotted something strange near the south exit of Shinjuku Station—a guy was, well, humping his bag in plain sight. Definitely not your typical Tokyo moment! Let’s just say the city never fails to surprise with its share of oddities.

    Greek Restaurants

    Snapped a few shots in Athens while indulging in some delicious local delicacies. From freshly baked pita to creamy tzatziki, and of course, souvlaki straight off the grill, every bite was a treat. The vibrant markets and cozy tavernas made it all the more memorable. Athens is a feast for both the eyes and the…

    787 Narita

    Took two shots with the Zhong Yi Optics 35mm f/0.95, one wide open and one at f/5.6, and the difference is fascinating! At f/0.95, the dreamy, creamy bokeh takes over, isolating the subject beautifully with a soft, artistic vibe. It’s perfect for creating that shallow depth of field look. At f/5.6, the scene becomes much…

    Snow White

    Had a great time playing with the 55-200mm in Naeba! The reach and sharpness of this lens were perfect for capturing the snowy landscapes and distant details on the slopes. It’s versatile, lightweight, and a joy to use in the winter scenery. Definitely a lens I’ll keep coming back to!

    Fresh Powder

    There was quite a lot of snow to deal with that morning in Naeba, but the little X-T2 handled the cold like a champ. Despite the freezing conditions and all the snow, it kept performing flawlessly—impressive for such a compact setup. Made capturing the snowy landscapes all the more enjoyable!

    Platforms

    Train platform: the place where a working day typically begins in Tokyo. Commuters line up in neat rows, coffee in hand, as the rhythm of the city kicks into gear. It’s a scene of order, routine, and quiet anticipation before the rush of the day unfolds.

  • Gastro Bar

    Gastrobar… as in gastroenteritis?! 😂 Not exactly the most appetizing association, but I guess they’re aiming for “gastronomy meets bar” vibes. Still, they might want to rethink that branding—doesn’t quite roll off the tongue for a place serving fancy food and drinks!

    Snowboard Girl

    Snowboarding in Japan seems to be as much about style as it is about the slopes! For many young women, it’s a chance to show off their color coordination and makeup skills, often more so than their actual snowboarding abilities. The outfits are on point, and even on the coldest days, they manage to look…

  • Old Shops

    I know I’m repeating myself, but in 10–20 years, Tokyo—and Japan as a whole—will look very different with so many small, traditional shops disappearing. These places are more than just businesses; they’re part of the city’s character and history. It’s bittersweet to think about how modernization and changing lifestyles might reshape the streets we know…
