Taking photos is an interest that I neglected for quite a few years. These days, I am trying to find some more time for it. I alternate between using a Fuji X100T and a Sony NEX-7. At the moment, I mainly take photos of cityscapes, street scenes, street art and landscapes. In general, when I am taking a photo, I am aiming for a very realistic but visually appealing depiction of whatever or whoever is in front of the camera. Despite this attention paid to realism, the photos are still very subjective. For example, the photos of Kyoto certainly look like Kyoto, but they tend to emphasize the spiritual, traditional and nature-loving sides of the city.

I occasionally post articles related to photography, in particular the use of lo-fi digital cameras like the digital harinezumi & exemode sq28m (these are kind of like digital lomography cameras that are also capable of shooting video)
Great Work! AwsomE. I love, photography, music and writing. Just came across this website to find some mp3 background music. Really liked your stuff. Keep up. :)
Great photos. I stayed a while in your flickr gallery.
Thanks for commenting. Your site has lovely pics as well. Perhaps I will begin shooting people more frequently. As I am a beginner, it is better to start with objects and landscapes as they won’t get impatient with me as I try to choose the best framing, settings, etc.
Great job bro u’r photos & music both are superb fantastic..
