Other Interests

I am not interested in shooting new things. I am interested to see things new.

My work and passion for travel take me to fascinating places, allowing me to meet people, experience diverse cultures, and explore new cuisines. I capture my travel adventures through the lens of my iPhone and FujiFilm X-T3, my trusted mirrorless digital companion.

My journey into photography began in childhood with a Canon point-and-shoot camera, a gift from my mother. During my time at design school, I upgraded to a Nikon SLR, where I learned to develop black & white and color films in the darkroom. While living in Japan, I purchased my first DSLR, but eventually, I fell in love with the Fuji mirrorless system.

My latest endeavor has been learning to fly a drone (DJI). Drones allow me to elevate my imagination, capturing experiences from an entirely new perspective. I particularly enjoy the post-production process, where I edit videos to create engaging visual stories and share them with family and friends.

Riding a motorcycle is a meditative experience for me. It gives me the time and space to center my thoughts, reflect on my goals, and recalibrate my direction.
