First matches with a good friend
Walked into a random bar one night only to discover it was videogame-themed. The bartender was playing Street Fighter 2 with some of the customers and looked like he was good. I grabbed a game with him after he was done, and it turned into a full night of us going back and forth on wins. I'd play the guy for the next ~7 years of my life. We never really spoke in depth due to language barriers, but I'd credit him with showing me that fighting games can be their own language.

Trick art museum
A weirdly fun exhibit from Odaiba back in the day: artwork that plays with perception and depth. Makes for great photos!

Another rainy day in Tokyo
A small slice of life picture.

Hipster Ryan
A rare photo of myself with glasses, originally done to mess with my little sister. Now it's less rare, I guess.

In some random airport
Our flight had be delayed and we needed to kill time. I cannot remember why the toy animal is on my shoulder.

Driving through Porto
Beginning of a great road trip... albeit once we got through traffic.
