Something from the past that I decided to re-edit. Nothing major but going back and reviewing is something that we can only do at the moment.

Flashback to April 2019 in Tokyo.

Crazy how I am supposed to be boarding a plane right now yet here I am. At home because of a pandemic.

M3F opened the doors to me and I am forever grateful. I am sometimes lucky to take part in certain things I never expected. it may not be Coachella but it is definitely just as memorable and any event. Much love for the opportunities.

Thoughts: So much going on this year and so much in this month. It feels unreal.

Thoughts 2: I have always wanted to capture photos in black and white but I find it very difficult. Here is and attempt of it and I hope to train my eyes into getting use to it. I admire those who can frame a shot and do it. I feel like it makes me really capture the subject but like I said, I have to start somewhere.

Thoughts: So much has been going on through my mind at the moment. I refuse to acknowledge my feelings towards someone and last night I realized how much it really means something. They are an amazing friend whom I can speak to about anything but then as time passed, things changed and I can’t explain it. I have always been a lone wolf enjoying life and discovering who I am as a person and where I want to go in life. One thing I have discovered about myself is that I don’t believe in love at first sight or that I don’t fall for someone instantly. It takes time, and I need to learn and understand the person. However, in this situation I feel like it would hurt getting rejected but even more so, lose a friend. I wish I would have felt something from the start because then I would have just dealt with rejection. Also, let’s say they would say yes. I simply wouldn’t even know what to say or do and feel like I would be wasting their time. More on that thought another time.

My editing style has changed and I feel more focused on what I want to shoot and how. I think before I was simply exploring new concepts and now that I’ve tried a few, I feel like I’m getting closer to finding my own voice.

There is always something eerie about an empty campus. Imagine if people all disappeared and you were the only one left. The quietness, consuming you day by day. It’s not a matter of how long you’ll survive but how long you can keep sane.

Ah the college life. A place with all sorts of people. Some know where they are going or where they want to be while others are lost and pressured into something. I wanted to be an architect. Then an engineer and I ended up graduating as a planner. While I do enjoy planning and its principles, I always think that maybe this isn’t what I'm meant to do. How can we go from being a high school student, never being taken seriously, to all of a sudden know what we want to be in life. When we ourselves don’t even know who we are as a person. By the time we realize our true interests it becomes to late. We put in the time and then we stick with it because by that time it is to late to just start over. We never get a chance to explore whats out there and rushed into a major we know little of or join to satisfy our parents. In a way we create our own misery. Going into a job that we hate. However, some know from the beginning who they are and what they will become and sometimes I envy those people who have at least that figured out.

After a shoot in Newport I decided to take some time and wonder around the pier. I never actually realized how mesmerizing waves are. While I am not a fan of going into the water, I do love just looking at the movement in the waves and people enjoying their day. On this day, for some reason I was hypnotized.

Trying some new things with how things are done. For a while photography has become bland but with new concepts, different shooting angles and editing, that spark has been reignited.

Funny how I spent 3 years at this campus trying to get my degree. And even though I know I spent a lot of time there it always feels like i didn't. It feels like I was hardly there and built no connections.

It’s been a while since I’ve actually shot a cosplay especially an out of con one. I guess one of the reasons why is because I feel like I was actually never good at it. But glad I got to do one with the elusive Kelly. I think the last time I had seen her it was at the same place lol.

Shooting with one of the OG’s. One of the first people I got to shoot with when I started transitioning from cosplay to more casual looks. I remember back then with the purple hair lol. Nice catching up. We live so close yet it took us forever to shoot again. But hey, now you are done and graduated!! Congrats!

The second time I’ve eaten at Shake Shack. The first time on my last day and a few hours before leaving Japan in Roppongi. Who knew they had one there. As sit and eat this, I am counting down the days left before I return to Japan. I’m excited and nervous to go back and see things in a new way. Thanks Sade for the meal. I forgot you wanted to turn up last minute haha. Should of gone to Lazy Dog but next time.
