Tokyo is one of my favorite cities, and I think most of the time, people look at the city at the eye level. For me, the real beauty of Tokyo is in its architecture and how it reminds me of origami. The shapes, the perspectives, and the profiles of buildings change as you walk a … Continue reading [Photo Gallery] Tokyo captured on Leica SL2
Sometimes I find myself brooding and it shows in my edits. This photo of Venice from almost a year ago. I love this city and can’t wait to go back. I also feel, I have barely scratched the surface when it comes to photographic adventures in Venice. Continue reading Venice under the fog
At eye level, a city is so crowded. Packed with ambition, nervous with hustle, and electric with naked desire. But go up to a roof, look out, and all you see is not people, but their ability to reshape the landscape. And then the quiet comes. Peace is just around the corner. That is why … Continue reading Serenity of a Skyline
When I think about what is that one project I could dedicate myself to, that will combine my passion for seascapes, emptiness, and; it probably would involve lighthouses.

This is Outer Sunset, SF by the way, one a rare sunny day. Edited with Darkroom app. Continue reading No, not Santa Monica
“Cameras are mere tools. Film is a mere medium. Digital data is a mere medium…they do not define why we do it!
