SoCal, I’m back

My first few days back in Southern California mainly consisted of good food and reuniting with my favorite people – photo shooting in L.A., lunch with my brother, hotpot dinner at Boiling Point with friends, Bruxie’s waffle sandwiches with my best friend of 10 years, shaved ice, boba, and the night view from the 405. … Continue Reading

Reflecting on 2013

Here I am again, in my apartment in Japan, typing up my reflection of this past year. This year was crazier than last year, especially the last half of the year. As some of you may or may not know, my father passed away in August due to a tragic motorcycle accident. When I first … Continue Reading

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Japan! Spent my Christmas night with my boo – admiring the illuminations in Shinjuku then heading over to Outback Steakhouse for a Christmas dinner. Hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas!

Aquamarine

  A few more from my weekend outing in Kawagoe. I had no idea plain, plastic water bottles could create something so pretty like this. I think the yellow foliage added a nice touch. This jacket I grabbed from Forever 21 was such a steal – I found a similar one at Zara for twice … Continue Reading

Thanksgiving in Kawagoe

And this is how I spent my Thanksgiving weekend. Koedo (“Little Edo”) Kawagoe on Saturday afternoon, with a good friend to keep me company and take some great photos for me.

All of the lights

I had the pleasure of shooting with Lisa again, this time during the evening hours in Midtown, Roppongi. I really wanted to check out the pretty illuminations, and it seemed like Lisa enjoyed them, too. It was a bit difficult to get some good shots in the dark, but she her amazing photography skills shined … Continue Reading
