I went to South Africa in 2018, and my (now) wife and I traveled around for a couple of weeks. I think I only took my M9, and the D16 for this trip, but I bought a really cheap film camera for about $5 and ran a couple of rolls through it (mostly family pictures, so nothing to share here). All of these throwaways are…
I love islands. I plan on retiring on an island some day. Being near the ocean is calming in a way that I did not properly understand or appreciate until I started working mainly in Tokyo again. So far, I’ve lived (as in longer than a year) on two islands in Japan, and have visited many of them. The island lifestyle is unique, and alluring….
I can’t wait to go back to Indonesia. I fucked up and drank some tea on my 3rd day, but other than that I loved every moment. I took three cameras, my D16 for video, my M9 for digital photos, and of course the trusted TX-1 for film. I wanted to go, because of a documentary I saw and a book that I read. The…
This post really hurts. When I went to Cuba, I mainly shot with my Fuji TX-1 and the amazing 45mm lens. This is by far my favorite setup as I really enjoy shooting in a panoramic ratio, and that 45mm lens is amazing. I shot 5 rolls, and then left the film out in a rented apartment (was working as an interpreter in Kentucky at…
During my uni years, I had a friend who made fun of my accent. Said it was “country”. Some of the best shit happens in the countryside though. Usually better food too. Enjoy some of my throwaway photos from these countryside festivals, and a tired pochi sunbathing.
The other day, I went to Cincinnati. I went to a camera store, and I went to handle a few other mundane errands. I put the address in Google Maps, and then realized that it was taking me the long way. So I thought to myself, “I would save time, if i took the other route”… Then I thought of how stupid that must sound….
Hello again. I’m going to start writing again. Currently in Kentucky, a place I never imagined I’d visit. In the next coming months, I plan on buying a few new cameras, scanning film (up to 20 rolls that I’ve been holding on to over the years), shopping my portfolio in Japan, and visiting Cuba. All of which I will use this platform to document. Not…
I took my Fuji TX-1, and my Epson with the 21mm Voigt. This is a trip that I have been looking forward to for a very long time. Goto, and Nagasaki, served as a hiding place for Christians for many years in the past before religious freedom in Japan. Many people fled persecution by sailing miles out into the ocean, and in some instances establishing…
*Updated 1/12/15* For this trip, I decided to travel light, and so I only took my Fuji X-Pro1 and the 35mm f1.4. Living on islands for the last two years has made me used to the sea, and traveling on her. The boat ride to Fukuoka from Goto was 9 hours and change, and costs about $45.00. It was very cloudy the whole way, and…
