I focus on capturing what truly inspires me. While my work may seem diverse, this is part of a process of exploring and deepening my awareness of who I am. I enjoy Flickr because it allows me to discover various works from many different perspectives.

My journey with photography began at the age of seven during a trip to North America, using an Olympus TRIP35 gifted by my grandfather. I captured Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon, and Amherst, where I spent a summer, and I was truly awakened to the beauty of the craft.

During my student years, I traveled across Japan with a Pentax A3 Date S. I have been a devoted "Pentaxian" ever since. I prefer the experience of shooting through an OVF, which is why I currently use the K-3 Mark III and K-3 Mark III Monochrome. While I appreciate the solid feel of these DSLRs, I also enjoy using lightweight cameras like the Nikon Z30 or FUJIFILM X-T30 II from time to time for their portability.
