HARAJUKU & DIGITAL ART MUSEUM IN JAPAN!

Posted on March 3, 2019 by SPhoto

What’s up everybody!

Been super busy with a lot of other stuff and been working on these Japan videos everyday, little by little, but I finally finished another one!

I put together our days from when we hit up Harajuku and when we went to visit the digital art museum.

Both places were pretty cool, like Harajuku for example, I liked that it felt very urban and every corner you turned, it was like a photographers heaven. There were so many little nooks and crannies you could shoot at, that I think you’d need the whole day and a month to shoot every single spot there. Literally, it was the perfect place to get as much content as you could handle. There’s also a lot of shopping you could get done, from WEGO (being one of my favorite stores to shop at ever since I first learned about it) to Daiso ( THE BEST DOLLAR STORE IN THE WORLD…well to me that is lol).

Although we only got to check out Harajuku for a limited time we made it well worth it with whatever time we had. Aside from that, we got to check out the digital art museum in Odaiba. Now that place was cool! Tricked my eyes and blew my mind the whole time we were there. I felt like a little kid again lol.

Such colorful displays and creative pieces all with the works of the digital age! My favorite one in that place would have to be the LED room with all the LED strips hanging all the way down from the ceiling. It displayed colorful dancing lights, to dimming the whole room pitch black and making the LED strips dance like it was raining. It’s just something you have to see with your own eyes!

There were some interactive rooms/displays as well but I can’t say those were better than my favorite one! It is definitely A MUST SEE place if it’s your first time in Tokyo, or just wanna go somewhere cool. And if you’re a social media junkie, you’ll be sure to leave with some bomb content/photos!

Day 3 of Japan! Arashiyama Bamboo Grove & Daigoji Temple | Kyoto

Posted on November 29, 2018 by SPhoto

What’s good guys! Day 3 finally done. I’ve been busy with other things, but was slowly finishing this video, little by little, everyday. The adventure for this day was to Kyoto again, but we woke up extra early to shoot at the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. It’s sort of like a hike with a view point somewhere up top, but we didn’t make it in that far, as we had a schedule to keep during our stay in Japan.

We woke up super early to beat the crowds and so we wouldn’t have people in our shots. If we waited later to go, this spot would’ve been crowded! It was a nice, cool morning that day too which we enjoyed a lot. So peaceful and calm there.

Then we decided to check out Daigoji Temple. I never knew how far this place was from the train station, but we did majority walking and taking trains. We hardly took any taxi’s to save some money. My feet hurt so back from this day from all the walking lol. But Daigoji Temple covers huge ground from the base of a mountain to the top. There’s a museum and other smaller temples at the base, and as you make your way to the top, you’ll hit Bentendo Hall, which is one of the most photographed buildings there. It’s located next to a relaxing pond. Definitely something worth checking out.

To end the day, we just headed back to our hotel in Shinsaibashi and wanted to see what the night life was like in Dotonbori. I didn’t bring my camera for that because I just wanted to relax and enjoy the vacation for once lol.

Day 2 of Japan! Fushimi Inari-taisha & Kinkaku-ji

Posted on November 13, 2018 by SPhoto

What’s up guys! I finally got around to finishing day 2 of the stuff we did while in Japan. We went to explore Kyoto for a bit and went to check out Fushimi Inari-taisha and Kinkaku-ji temple. In a nutshell, Fushimi Inari-taisha is where you’ll find the torii, or the bright orange traditional gates all lined up leading up a mountain. Kinkaku-ji is where you’ll find the golden pavilion, one of the famous tourist attractions in Kyoto.

Unfortunately, it was a gloomy and rainy morning which limited me to some of the shooting that I did. I didn’t want my camera and gear to get wet and damaged so I shot whatever I could when I had the chance. Plus if you’re planning to go anywhere that’s a tourist attraction, I’d suggest going early in the morning to avoid all the crowds if you’re looking to take some photos or video because once peak time hits, the crowds will just keep pouring in!

I’m glad we got to learn and physically see some history of Japan tho. It’s definitely some places to check out if you’re visiting Japan for the first time or if you’re looking for places/things to do.

Flight Out and Day 1 of Japan!!!

Posted on November 2, 2018 by SPhoto

What’s up guys! This is officially the start of the Japan trip the girlfriend and I took in the beginning of October. In this video I showed our flight from Honolulu to Japan and what we ended up doing on our first official day there. I can’t tell you how much this video got me in my feels about Japan while I was creating it! Japan is just an amazing place! If you haven’t visited there yet, IT’S A MUST, or if you have already been there, then you already know why I’m in my feels lol.

Check out what we did and I can promise you that more videos from the trip are in the works and coming soon! You can also peep the photos and read about the other things we did while in Japan. There might not be too much photos this time, but that’s because I took a majority of video clips to sharpen my video skills even further.

I’ll also be moving travel content from the journal into it’s own section which will be labeled, “Travel”. So look out for that!

I Finally Stepped Into The Video World

Posted on May 2, 2018 by SPhoto

Alright, so this took me a while to actually convince myself into taking up videos because, 1) I hate learning new things and 2) I hate that on top of learning something new, I’ll have to figure out a workflow from what I’m comfortable with already. But on the other hand, I felt as if I was at a “block” with my photography and (of course there’s many many many more things for me to learn) felt at my “max” as of today. Like I said, it took me a while to convince myself, but I thought about it and realized that I should take a break from photography (I’m not completely stopping. I’ll just be focusing on learning everything I can with videos now.) and acquire a new skill that can benefit me in the future! I know I said I hate learning, hate this, hate that, but I also LOVE learning new things if it’s beneficial. I love that learning something new can open not only your mind, but also your doors of opportunity in the future.

This day me and the boo went to Lanikai beach to just relax and enjoy our day off together. It was a windy and cold day at the beach tho so no swimming was involved and we just sat on the sand and people watched and I got to practice shooting. Keeping this short, here’s my very first video and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it. Feel free to leave me comments and share this video if you please.

Oh and follow me on instagram: @sphotohi. Also SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel since I’ll be posting more on there.
