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.

Puyo-Puyo

Won this in a crane game machine! One of the more interesting ones too.

Toyota MR2 spotted!

Having had one of these in my earlier days, I get excited whenever I see one.

Historic Airfield

Another adventure of "get on a train and see where it takes us". This time we wound up at a cool historical airfield/museum. Amazing to see if you dig history.

Derelict swing set

Would always pass by this at night on the way back from the office. Something eerie about it.

A dying breed

A particular arcade that has a wealth of older fighting games, yet we found it at a time when nobody was there. Eerie shot.

Far flung Tokyo

While staying in Takadanobaba, we took the odd train line (the Seibuu line) to the outskirts to see where it'd go. Nothing too remarkable, but good photo opportunities for slice-of-life pieces.

Back streets of 'Baba

We stayed here briefly while hopping around apartment-hunting. Fun area to roam.

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.

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.
