"I'm starting to put real thought into a book/gallery. I've never wanted to do either just for the sake of doing it, I've always wanted it to feel right - with purpose. Its been suggested to me more and more often as of recent and it's getting harder to push back. I feel like its time to cook"
"Say yes even when youre not sure if you're prepared to. Fear is a mile high and paper thin and there really is no "good time" to start chipping away at whatever it is that lies ahead of you. And its important you treat people well and live in morals and integrity."
"Everytime i come to New York I get inspired. Its youthful, busy and exciting. You get a side of life and inspiration that you don't really get where I live in LA. Theres a real strong sense of community and togetherness in the air. Like you can really just go outside and things are happening. I love LA and I'm so grateful for the life i've built and the community I have tho."
"Going back to Tokyo and getting lost with a camera"
