Theses are the photos I took right after the earthquake. There was no electricity in my area and no traffic light was working.

It was so weird to see no lights in all the store. I should have stock on onigiri at that time. I didn’t know they would be a one hour line later.

This is my favorite Ramen place, they was still some people eating when I took the photos. I would have toughs all the bowl would have been spilled on the ground…

Trains are still close right now as I write this! Some people spend the whole day in the station hoping they would start again eventually.

All the students of the university gather outside. Some were in the swimming pool apparently, must have been so cold!

In the evening all the combini had an one hour + line!

It so weird to see all the street with no light, I went out a little bit later and it was pitch black!

Electricity is finally back! First thing I did was open my TV and MacBook. I’m glad that my building was build to survive such a big earthquake! Now I only need to clean up my apartment and find a restaurant that open!

I discover a really cool designer toys store in Yokohama called “Sup!” They mostly have a kidrobot stuff, but really, is that a bad thing ^_^ I brought back a Munny home with me, I’ll try to figure out something cool to do with it. Munny is the most popular kidrobot character, and the main concept is that they sell blank ones ( or white if you prefer ) and you are suppose to color it yourself and make it unique. If you google “munny” you should get a lots of exemples!

I don’t want to turn this site into an otaku fest, but I think it pretty fun to shoot toys outside, makes them feel more alive! I will try to keep him in my camera bag and do this more often ^_^

ちいさいフィギュアを持ち出して撮影するのは楽しい。まるで生きているかのように見えるから。こういうショットをもっとたくさん撮っていきたい。

“The MS-06 Zaku II is a mobile suit from the Mobile Suit Gundam metaverse. It is redesigned by Kunio Okawara based upon the earlier draft by the series director Yoshiyuki Tomino, in which only the name was kept. The Zaku II has seen various redesigns and variants for hundreds of pieces of merchandise, and the Japanese post office has two stamps with Zaku II’s on them.^[1][2]. The Zaku’s aesthetic can be seen in more symbolic homages in the Gundam mythos, such as the GINN and ZAKU Warrior from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED , the Busshi from Mobile Fighter G Gundam, and the Jenice from After War Gundam X.”

I went to the CP+ Camera and Photo Imaging Show today. I was hoping to see something new and unique from Nikon, like the famous mirrorless dslr that was suppose to be annonce this week-end, but instead they only show five new coolpix, which don’t really interest me. Fuji came out with a cool/retro looking camera, which I think was the coolest thing to see this year. Beside that every booth had a bunch of girls to promote their products. Enjoy the photos.

今週末まで横浜で開催されているCP＋（シーピープラス：カメラと写真のイベント）に行ってきた。Nikon社のブースでは新しいcoolpixが５種類展示されていたけれど、僕が期待していたミラーレス一眼はまだ公開されていなかった。一番印象に残ったのはFuji社が展示していたレトロでスタイリッシュなデジカメ。今年一番の目玉だと思う。

Sorry it been a while since I posted some photos, but I’ve been pretty busy with work, photo lessons and actually shooting some pictures around the city. But I bring you a pretty nice post today with six HDR shots of the downtown of Yokohama, I hope you like them and I will try to post photos everyday again.

I posted a photo of the entrance of this temple a while ago. I was walking again in Yokohama chinatown with some friends, and I just need to take a photo of this temple every time I see it, especially at night.

Todays photo was actually taken by one of my student, you can see her flickr here. I just love the shot and I know some of you like it when I post photos of animals, so there you go!
