  • Mori Tower 24mm vs. 300mm

    Same location, same camera, same subject (Mori Tower in Roppongi, where my office is located) but different lens : 24mm vs. 300mm. Now, the 300mm is not the lens I use most since it’s rather bulky and heavy, but when I have the time, I love using it as a walkaround lens, just to re-discover ...

  • Le Lion d’Or

    This former 18th-century post office is now a charming hotel located in one of Bayeux’s oldest quarters, close to the Bayeux Tapestry Museum. My favourite part of the hotel is the lounge, where you can relax by the fireplace, sipping Calvados, while being surrounded by pictures of the celebrities the hotel has welcome over the ...

  • Rising Steel and Concrete

    One year difference between the two pictures. Office building on the left, apartment building on the right. And as always, the apartment building looks ugly in comparison to the office one.

  • Saizeriya – サイゼリヤ

    One of the ubiquitous family restaurant in Japan (ファミレス) : Saizeriya. I actually like it, the “Italian” food they serve is simple, not too bad, and amazingly cheap. Only ¥3,000 for all you can see on the pictures, including the wine ! Quite popular for dates too :)

    Some Japanese students practising photography in a park. I guess one has to use film once to know how painful it is.
