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…
I have a few photos that I’m going to post as throwaways on here from now on. I’m going to start by posting a few that I found when looking through old folders, as a sort of ‘spring cleaning’. I’m posting them with old blog posts that were also just sitting in my drafts folder, but I’m going to keep the date the same, because…
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.
Chemicals and wavelengths got me to thinking about how colors can’t be described in words, and therefore it is *impossible(?) to know if my ‘green’ is the same as someone else’s. The wavelength is the same, and conditioning has brought us to a point where we’ll all call objects of the same wavelength, ‘green’ or ‘blue’, but what if the interpretation leads us to see…
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….
Right now is a very interesting, and fortuitous time to be a part of the photography world. Good equipment can be bought for very low prices. Digital rot is a real thing, and the advancements being made (for me personally) aren’t exciting enough to convince me to hop on board to buy a new camera.

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 shot a roll on my Contax G2, and then accidentally shot the same roll on my Fuji TX-1 last week here are some of those pictures; A bit upset about the lost TX-1 shots, but whatever.
