Outside the code

Life, in frames.

Outside of software, I enjoy taking photos, shooting video, and editing. I think documenting life matters because we only get to live each moment once. We cannot return to the past, but a photograph or a video can bring us close to how that moment felt.

Japan is the place I most want to document. The streets, light, seasons, and scenery seem to offer something worth remembering at every turn. When I have time, I like turning those fragments into edited videos so I can share some of that feeling with other people too.
