When I was 16 years old, I recall watching students from my high school photo club taking pictures of trains, and thinking that they were such nerds. I never ever imagined that I would become one of them and that’s what I would do for a living (although I call myself an artist). It’s interesting how life turns out and actually loving being a nerd. 

Born and raised in Japan, refined and redefined by 20 years of American culture. 

If not shooting, I’m wandering about NYC looking for the next great bowl of ramen.
