    First sunset behind Fujisan taken on January 1st 2013 from my living room window. I will move to a new apartment in a couple of weeks and will dearly miss the view…

    At home I have a nice view of the Fujisan to the south-west. I often take pictures of it in winter when the skies are so clear. Many times I’ve told myself it would be nice to take a picture with the sun setting right behind the mountain. I’ve searched the internet for an app…

    Took this photo with my iPhone this morning after the 20th typhoon of the season cleared away. Last time I saw it, there was no snow. Now it’s all white. See another beautiful photo made this morning from much closer. I will try to update this post tonight with some photos I took with my…

    Taken with my iPhone on Cat Street, the street that connects Shibuya to Omotesando. I’m pretty impressed by the picture quality of my iPhone, I should take more photos with it…

    Bought new shoes during the Silver week vacations. Yeah, I’m an Onitsuka addict. Funny thing is all the people I saw, without exception, in the Onitsuka Tiger shop browsing for shoes were already wearing Onitsuka kicks. I guess I’m not the only one who’s addicted…

    A bit more than 3 months after moving in, my first glimpse of 富士山 from my living room window.

    Last night was the first clear sky sunset I could catch since we moved in the new apartment in Ikebukuro. 梅雨 (the rainy season – literally rain like plums) is not over yet so it was a lucky day. I can’t wait until the typhoon season – after a typhoon, the skies are like washed…

    In a previous post I was talking about driving all the way to 横浜の中華街 for a chinese lunch. Now I’ve finally gotten around to processing the pictures in Aperture and uploading them to flickr.

    Playing around with Aperture, I’m slowly getting the hang of RAW treatment workflow after each day of shooting. A little bit of contrast here, adjusting the temperature there, a tad of vibrancy over here… What used to take me hours is now done in 10min thanks to the great “lift and stamp” tool. But one…

    Last Tuesday I went karting with some friends in Tokyo, around 北千住. The place is called City Kart, you can rent the course for ¥36.000/hour on weekdays with 5 200cc karts which I think is a pretty awesome pricetag considering the location. It is right next to the 京成関屋 train station or 10min walk from…

    Random shots I took lately while walking around Tokyo on the weekend with my trusty Nikon D60 50mm f/1.4. A skull chariot sculpture in Marunouchi. An abandoned ice-cream stand-sign in Koenji.

    A friend of mine received his new car last weekend and we went driving around town all saturday night and sunday afternoon. Fun thing to do with a car in Tokyo: drive to Yokohama’s 中華街 to eat chinese food for lunch a Sunday afternoon after partying. It really got me into thinking I need to…
