We walked the streets of the city, talking about our lives and hopes for the future.

I wonder what we would think of it.

Part of the A-Bomb Dome (Genbaku Dome), the only structure left standing after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on the 6th of August 1945. Easily one of the most impressive war memorials I have visited.

Chinese lanterns glow warmly in a motorbike mirror on a rainy night in Bangkok’s Chinatown, their orange and red light reflecting off wet pavement and textured walls.

This is number 13 in my Hey Dummy! series, shot on 35mm film (Kodak Pro Image 100). Weird, funny, unsettling—and strangely human :)

#Photography #BuddhistMonk #Myanmar #Buddhism #35mm #KodakPortra #filmisnotdead #believeinfilm

Portrait of an elderly Buddhist monk smiling warmly inside his small temple cell in Yangon, Myanmar. His deeply lined face, missing teeth, and long white eyebrows reflect wisdom, faith, and humility. Behind him, a Buddha statue and colorful mosaic tiles form a shimmering backdrop that evokes the spirit of Buddhism. Captured on Kodak Portra 160 35mm film, this analog portrait conveys serenity, dignity, and the quiet beauty of monastic life.

A photo of 2 Japanese women. I was lucky to spend some time in Tokyo in 2017, meeting many interesting people. disillusioned "weebs", ostrasized locals, and minority workers who never fit in.
