day four & five: TOKYO

day three: FUJIKAWAGUCHIKO

Tried my sister's 60D (she named it Ceecee) and went a few exposures down from what I usually do. Of course these are a very short set to represent Fujikawaguchiko area yet I love the solemness captured today only by pulling down my usual exposure set.

Next stop, Tokyo desu!

day two: TOYOHASHI

My previous intent was to not bother you all with written words and only tell about Japan in complete visual. Yet my stupidity hits the whole plan hard, knocking off some sanity out of me last night when I realized I forgot to bring my camera battery charger.

But God is so far so good to me. I still got to take two pictures today to represent Toyohashi, located at the Aichi prefecture. One last additional picture was taken through my sister's 60D. Nikon is a Japanese product so I'll be charging Deedee once I found its service center in Tokyo.

Yet still, I think you can sense my feelings about Japan through my previous post. If not, I'll keep you guessing or assume whatever you want, since I'm keeping the journey interpretative.

Konbanwa.

day one: OSAKA

Another contribution for one of my favorite online shopping sites in Indonesia, and we were pretty much transforming B&W to be the new Holy Month green. I'm glad I got to work the whole concept out with Karina despite the fact that they were simultaneously preparing for their pre-event bazaar. I was a bit nervous about doing an in-studio photo shoot because I'm never used to it, but well there'll be time to do so in the future.

Again I'd like to say congrats to the whole LocalBrand team and hopefully we'll work together on even bigger and better projects to represent Indonesia!

dulu.

The long awaited collaboration has finally been done! The first shoot I had when I was back in Jakarta turned out to be presented twenty days before going back to NYC. But it was worth the wait, for sure.

Mabel. I can't really describe her much, but you won't believe how much of a hipster she is considering her current age (which I'm going to keep you guessing about). Her older sister Beata constantly exchange ideas with me and she styled a couple of projects with me during these months. So she saw the vibe that Mabel's been overloaded with, told me, and decided to do the shoot!

On the other hand I was itching to collaborate with Josha because I saw his graphic design works and photo edits since high school and I thought these pictures were perfect for his style.

You know what, I'm a sucker for these peeps, big sucker when it comes to super creative people, and this team is a good example of one.
