one grueling coffee shop job later and i was finally able to afford the fujifilm x-t5. this is my favorite camera ever (but it's not like i'm using a ton of cameras), perfect for video and photo. collected here is my abundance of street photography in various areas across the world; photographing strangers is my favorite thing to do, ever. which might be a bit of a creepy hobby

a couple outside of the maggie daley park skating rink

someone among chriskindlmarket...

a girl who was having a lot of trouble on the skating rink, but didn't seem to mind being photographed

a girl under the cherry blossoms (that were beginning to fade by then...)

crows at takeshita st

peeked my camera into an alleyway where this cool girl was having her photo taken

i went to usj for luigi but didn't want to wait in line for 40 minutes to take a photo. this will do...

walking in osaka

a photographer in dotonbori. someone has to take a photo of them sometimes, right?
