Emigrated to Japan in 2001 and lived just outside Nagoya since 2002. Studied Japanese at university. Fatherhood, photography, hiking, cycling, books, music. www.seanbreslin.jp
I like going back and looking at what I was photographing at the same time of year in past years. This was Nagoya in November, 2018.

Just got the first roll of film back from my Zeiss Ikonta 6x9. Boring images (it was a test), and framing issues, but overall very happy. The lens and shutter seem immaculate.

Spent quite a while updating my website design. Tried to make it much simpler.

You also have to show the action of placing one hand above the other.

Who needs peace and quiet in the countryside? Support beams for what could be the world's fastest train, possibly reaching 603 km/h.

Taken on cheap film that caused light leaks seanbreslin.jp/2025/10/18/l...

Used grandfather's old Kodak Cresta with Lomo Colour '92. The camera was fine (shot Kodak before with good results), but this film suffered from 'fat roll' - doesn't roll tight enough, causing light leaks. A waste of money :-( Sticking to Ilford or Kodak from now on.

While walking the Nakasendō from Ena to Nakatsugawa on Sunday. This man was hanging kaki (persimmon) to dry out.

Went to Aston Villa v Newcastle yesterday. Crap game, but there were tributes to Ozzie Osbourne, Diego Jota and his brother before the game.

My brother also paid for a memorial plaque next to Villa Park for my dad. #UTV #astonvillafc #OzzyOsbourne

In #Australia with some #Japanese teenagers. We go #hiking, camping, surfing, teach them English, etc. Mostly to introduce a different way of life from what they are used to.This is trip 12.

Here are 3 of them crawling out of their tent below a giant on the NSW/Queensland border a few mornings ago.

It doesn’t matter how hot the Japanese summer gets (it does really), local summer festivals and the cool night breeze always make up for it.

I've been wondering if there's any point to digital photography (and posting in general) when AI is creating an ever growing bucket of mush. The answer is '"Of course there is!" but still...

Two old random film photos of Kyoto.

A few weeks ago I sold a load of (newish) gear. I honestly don't think I went far enough.

Hey spring.

(I am not a bird photographer. I just try to be observant.)

I still don’t know why I’ve spent the past year or so photographing birds and wildlife. But yesterday, as I walked around a lake in #Nagoya in the rain, it struck me—it might just be a way of giving a big middle finger to the modern world. #Japan #birds #photography #birdphotography #lumixg9ii #名古屋

Heading out into the countryside for the day. Trying a set up I don’t usually use much.

I asked him for a portrait. He grunted (probably thought I couldn't speak Japanese) but didn't say no so I took the hint, got a quick shot, and let him carry on working.
