I have a lot of varying interests over the years and I am overtly fond of starting things that I am almost always unable to see through the end. I could be convincing myself to run and sweat buckets one day, the next one I could be psyching myself to learn another language, then the week after I’d be obsessing on where to probably get a cheap-ass cello so I can finally learn to play the damn thing, a month after I could be poring over three-inch-thick books after stopping halfway through a Shel Silverstein work just because, and who knows in maybe a year, I could be trying to prove I can cook something that is not sinigang, nilagang baka, or fried egg.

Anyway, bottom line — I want to do a lot of things and my interest on each of those things shifts as quickly as a chameleon threatened with imminent death. 

Thankfully, though, there are six of those things that have at least stuck with me all through the past I dunno how many years.

This was supposed to be my entry for the “FSP: You” project, wherein you’re supposed to stay in your own home or space or whatever and create a narrative from there. I basically had a whole month to do this and that was more than enough time to churn out at least something, right? But since I barely stayed home the whole of November, well, let’s just say I wasn’t able to do it in time.

(Imma just chalk this up as one of those shoganai things, which apparently I have a rather long list of. Can’t be helped, man, it is what it is, I am what I am, that list could sink to the bottom of the ocean for all I care.)

Japan Train (Station) Shots

I left Japan almost a year and a half ago and of course I miss a couple of things here and there — Hakata Ippudo ramen, snowboarding, Amazon, Rakuten, sakura during spring, ginkgo trees in autumn, Shinjuku, Showa Kinen Park, Nagayama, kafunsho (NOT) — okay, maybe not just a couple of things.

But for street photography, there’s really just something about the trains and train stations there that make me want to come back again.

As I recall, that's the very last time we saw each other.
Taken in 2011 while I was on my way to Showa Kinen for some sort of flower festival, this was the photo that convinced me to take an interest in Street Photography.

I did come back, for my second business trip to the freezing prefecture of Nagano, and although I wasn’t able to really take advantage of the opportunity to shoot — I blame the never-ending workday and allergies BTW — I managed to churn out a few.

Shinjuku South Gate
But first, a little selfie wouldn’t hurt, would it? Here’s me taking a shot outside Shinjuku’s South Gate, while taking a breath and congratulating myself for finding a locker huge enough to stuff my luggage in. Yay.

Anyway, without further ado …

The Streets of Macau

Macau

Fueled by intense boredom of the daily grind and free hotel accommodation, we packed our bags for a weekend in casino-littered Macau. A city that boasts a fusion of cultures (the most obvious ones being Chinese and Portuguese) and a sense of opulence and magnificence and blinkity-blinkity-blinky lights and what-have-yous, it sure makes for some very interesting street shots.

WHITE LADY. One of my favorite shots taken in this trip, this features a platinum blonde lady all in — yes, you guessed it right– ALL IN WHITE. I mean, who on earth would want to wear white while traveling anyway?! Apparently this lady, tsk. But good for me because she served as a great centerpiece to the hustle and bustle of Sunday-afternoon markets heading towards the Ruins of St. Paul’s Cathedral. Doesn’t hurt that I was able to make her appear all blown-out and contrasty to everyone else.

Ecstatic

This was taken way back in December 2011, just weeks before I was about to leave Japan so I was cramming in whatever shots I could get from the ever-interesting human landscape there. Good thing that parking myself in the middle of this Christmas-themed light setup somewhere near Tokyo Dome yielded some passable shots. One of them is this one while another’s posted here somewhere.

(This shot is one of those happy accident things; I forgot to turn off the HDR setting in my iPhone so there are two shots to this scene – the first one with the bird still at rest and then this.)

A little juxtaposition between the totally awesome mannequins and the cat’s eyes above their heads.
