To the Beach

That small path to the beach in Kailua must hold such sweet memories—a gateway to soft sands, turquoise waters, and pure relaxation. The thought of traveling freely again feels like a distant dream sometimes, but those moments of freedom will come back. Until then, we hold on to these cherished memories and look forward to…

Sakura

Life sounds like it’s been a whirlwind lately—wrapping up 5G, moving into a new house, and navigating a new school for your little one! Glad to hear things have settled enough for you to share again. This year’s cherry blossoms do sound unusual, with the cold throwing their timing off. Still, your shot captures their…

Hong Kong Bites

A quick Hong Kong stopover with the X-H1 sounds great, but those camera freezes must have been frustrating. Heat and humidity could definitely be culprits—Hong Kong can be tough on gear, and Japanese summer will put it through an even bigger stress test. Fingers crossed it holds up better next time. At least you got…

90mm Daijingu

Taking the XF 90mm f/2 out for a lunch stroll around Tokyo Daijingu sounds like a fantastic way to enjoy the day. That lens is a portrait powerhouse, with razor-sharp focus and creamy bokeh that will beautifully isolate details of the shrine’s serene atmosphere. From architectural details to quiet moments, it’s a great match for…

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

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!

Waiting for Train

Waiting for Train

Captured various people waiting for trains in Tokyo, specifically in Shinjuku and Akihabara. Why, you ask? Turns out there’s a demand for these kinds of shots on Shutterstock! It’s interesting how everyday moments, like commuters standing by the platform, can be turned into stock photo gold. Sometimes the ordinary is what people are looking for.

Rainy Walk

Rainy Walk

It’s been raining non-stop for days here in Tokyo. The city takes on a completely different vibe—streets glisten, umbrellas fill the sidewalks, and the gray skies add a moody touch to the usual bustle. A bit dreary, but there’s always something atmospheric about Tokyo in the rain.

Station Agent

Station Agent

The 56mm f/1.2 APD has become a permanent fixture on my X-T2—it’s just that good! Incredible sharpness, dreamy bokeh, and perfect for portraits or anything with a shallow depth of field. On another note, The Station Agent was the first movie I saw with Peter Dinklage, long before his Game of Thrones fame. Such a…

Few shots from Shinjuku Station with my 90mm lens. Captured a few shots at Shinjuku Station with my 90mm lens. The sharpness and creamy bokeh made it perfect for isolating details in the bustling crowd and picking out moments of calm amidst the chaos.

Wandering through Shinjuku before heading back to work—taking in the lively streets, the neon signs, and the endless energy of the area. Even a short stroll here feels like a mini escape from the daily grind. Always something new to see!

Cute Donut

Cute Donut

Cute donut: visually adorable, but the taste? Not that great. Pretty much what I expected, to be honest. Sometimes the looks outweigh the flavor, but hey, at least it made for a fun picture!

Kabukicho

Kabukicho

Strolling through Kabukicho in Shinjuku with the X-T2 and 90mm in hand. The lens was perfect for picking out details in the bustling streets—neon signs, narrow alleys, and the energy of the nightlife. The sharpness and bokeh made every shot pop, capturing the vibe of Tokyo’s liveliest district. Always a fascinating place to shoot!

XF 90mm and Dust

XF 90mm and Dust

I had to return my first Fuji XF 90mm lens because it came with dust inside straight out of the box. The replacement was clean initially, but after just three months of use, I’ve noticed around 20 specks of dust inside. While I understand that this doesn’t impact image quality, it’s frustrating for a lens…

Beer Girls

What would a baseball game in Japan be without the beer vendors? These hard-working individuals navigate the stands with kegs strapped to their backs, tirelessly going up and down the stairs to keep the crowd refreshed. It’s a tough job, but their cheerful energy and quick service are part of the unique charm of Japanese…

Baseball at 8fps

Baseball at 8fps

Testing out the X-T2’s 8fps mode—it’s already fast, though half the speed of its max burst at 15fps. Honestly, what would I even do with that many shots at the highest speed? :) 8fps feels plenty quick for most situations, and it still captures all the action without filling up the card too fast!

Soft Pink

Soft Pink

The XF 90mm f/2 delivered some gorgeous, creamy bokeh while shooting plum flowers this spring. The lens’s sharp focus on the blossoms combined with the dreamy blur in the background really makes the flowers pop. It’s such a joy to use for capturing the delicate beauty of springtime!

Iron Dragon

Iron Dragon

Captured the Iron Dragon at Tokyo Daijingu near Iidabashi, and it’s another moment where the X-T2 truly shines. The more I learn to use this camera, the happier I am with my switch from Canon. Paired with the 90mm f/2, which rivals the legendary 135mm f/2 “magic prime” in sharpness and rendering, it feels like…
