    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…

    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.

    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…

    Yesterday we received a Christmas present / New Year’s gift from 愛子’s father. Around a Kg of 和牛 – Japanese beef from Yamanashi prefecture. If you’re thinking “meh, it’s just meat…”, stop right there, retail price must be over ¥30.000 (almost 300€). Straight in the frying pan with some delicious garlic. Look at those beautiful…

    I spent last weekend, which was a 3-day holiday with 文化の日 on monday, in 軽井沢, which could be compared to the Gstaad or Courchevel of Japan. Of course, it’s a pretty far-fetched comparison: the ski-station could barely be called a hill, but anyways that’s where all the rich CEO’s buy fabulous chalets and come chill…

    I bought a Nikon D60 this weekend for ¥37,000 with a cashback I’ve got to fill out that’ll get me a further ¥5,000 off. As you can see I’m having a lot of fun with the DSLR, shooting RAW and messing around with Aperture. I’m hoping I’ll have tons of cool photos coming to my…

    I’m not sure if they have Cribs on MTV Japan, but this guy would have a spot on the show for sure. From left to right: a Maserati Quattroporte, a Lamborghini Gallardo and an unknown Ferrari… More pics here and here.

    3rd year in Japan and each year I was on a busines trip somewhere for early April: the time of the 花見 parties. This time I was home and got to drink myself silly on a tarp under the cherry blossoms. On the border of the 目黒川, I got to take some nice photos with…
