What is your go-to camera gears and option for street photography?
My current favorite is Sony A7S2 that recently upgraded from Sony A72. It was a significant step up for me to enter the world of 4K shooting with extra boost of moon-overexposing-high ISO capability that enables me to shoot night street photography like daytime.

What I really like most about Sony’s A7 series lineup is its compact size for traveling. Last month I went to Japan and took this little buddy all around the country. It is so easy to get close to the subject and capture the mood of places and people up close. Now I am quite thrilled to share what my eyes captures on this journey.

This last trip to Japan was quite something as I was reuniting with my mother who lives in Guam; we’ve visited old friends from my grade school and strolled around the neighborhood where I grew up. There was a specific sentiment about this visit which I do not have a perfect word to describe with but somehow reflected in my photo captures. Memories that lost original shapes but still remaining in my mind got filtered through the lens like ghosts from decades ago.
Slow paced street photography sessions in Japan was both revealing and contemplative experience, personally.

This trip was also special because I had an honor to tag along with French band SPORT on latter half of their 8 days Japan tour. I was lucky enough to see this awesome band play for 4 nights in Osaka, Nagoya, Shizuoka, and Tokyo and explored each destination during the day. You can download their music for free here. They are one of the most emotive and dedicated DIY musicians to exist in this world today and also just great human beings.

There are many ways you can travel and experience the sense of location in Japan. In my opinion, best way to experience the locality is through live music. Visiting music venues in outskirt of big cities like Nagoya and Osaka opened my eyes to realize the proactive DIY community that strives to cultivate the underground music scenes in small suburban neighborhoods of Japan just like how it is back home in San Francisco Bay Area.

So at some point in the last decade or so, clients who simply needed education and direction dwindled online discount cialis and the amount of clients with more pervasive and chronic sexual problems increased. If you’re interested to get the taste of local music scene in Japan, go thumb through my Vimeo feed and check out the videos shot with A7S2. My strongest desire to shoot dimly lit DIY shows in finer detail was achieved by the glory of A7S2’s super high sensitive sensor. Throughout the trip I’ve recorded video clips of passing scenes and decided to compile them into one video project. Here’s complete edit of video that I would love for you see. Let me know what you think:

I usually spend lot of time staring at the histogram and changing around the color setting on Photoshop when I go through the archive of photos shot during the travel, but A7S2 seems to pull me away from that time consuming habit. I think this is the first camera that I am actually content with the way the light and color are picked up and casted on a digital canvas. All of the photos presented here are minimally, if not at all processed from original RAW files. I like how this camera perceives the shaded part of the images too; making the cloudy day look very sexy.

Here’s some of my favorite picks from 4 different cities in Japan:
