Motorsports, travel, and random photos from around the world. Rally driver, car #91 in ARA National L2WD. Life is too short to just sit around and wait.

Top of the mountain

We wound up having to quickly leave this area, for some reason.

A famous torii on the water

Way more crowded than you'd expect, but it does make for a great photo.

Snow in Ginza

A rare late-winter snowstorm in Ginza. I remember how nice this felt; snow always relaxes me and it was a pretty stressful period of life, with visa issues, apartment hunting woes and general startup hell.

Walks & Architecture

The longest walk around Taipei.

From the top of some tower in Taipei

We took a lot of selfies back then for some reason.

Roaming dogs of Taipei

We spent a few months in Taipei, and one thing I noticed was the large amount of homeless dogs roaming around. They start to recognize you if you frequent the same spots. Heartbreaking to see.

View from the office... bar

I don't know if it's still there, but there used to be a quirky office themed bar in Omotesando - and no, not themed after the TV show. It was literally meant to be a gag about leaving your job to go drink in another office (I guess?). The view was great, looking right out into Omotesando streets.

A glowing payphone

This alley was pretty dark, but the phone booth was lit up like the sun. So odd.

Criss-crossed wires

The way the lines in this flow hits.

Lit up windows

I like the vibe/mood.
