Eighty Years After Hiroshima: Paper Cranes, Peace, Grief, and Hope
Eighty years after the bombing of Hiroshima, I visited the city for the first time. Walking along the river towards the Atomic Bomb Dome, I saw memorials telling stories of grief and resilience — none more moving than the Children’s Peace Monument, inspired by Sadako Sasaki and her paper cranes. It was a day not for chasing photos, but for listening, reading, and feeling. I left with a deeper understanding of our fragility as humans, and the hope that something like this will never happen again.

Japan, The Trip, The Print, The Memory
Most of our photos live on hard drives, forgotten. But a few years ago, I started printing the ones that mattered most — and it changed how I see my work, my memories, and even myself. This is the story of a trip to Japan, a photo that meant everything, and what it taught me.
Take a moment to read it.

A Wander Through the Electric Town
My second day in Tokyo — this time, wandering through Akihabara in the rain. What I found wasn’t the perfect photo, but rhythm, reflection, and the quiet beauty of a city that doesn’t try to dazzle — it just does.

Timber and Time
A sunny afternoon walk through Japan’s backstreets led me to a quiet discovery: tiny wooden houses full of character, memory, and meaning. Camera in hand, I found beauty in small spaces — and ended up thinking deeply about how we live, and what we really need.

Stairway to the Pagoda
After a long journey from Hiroshima to Fujikawaguchiko, we took an unexpected sunset trek to Chureito Pagoda — and it led to one of the most rewarding photographic moments of my trip. A quiet climb, a glowing sky, and a surprise ending I’ll never forget.

Arigato (ありがとう) Andrés-san
After 20 years of wondering what Japan was really like, I finally went. This isn’t just about travel — it’s about childhood memories, friendship, and seeing a long-held curiosity come to life.

Fuji San and Social Media
Caught between the lens and the crowd, I travelled to Japan to photograph Mt. Fuji — but ended up finding something far more meaningful. This is a story about social media, stillness, and rediscovering intention as a photographer.
