So recently, my friend Takahiro from Japan sent over a flash drive with USDM Jam photos and what not. He brought up the idea of sending the flash drive back with photos from America on it. I thought it was an awesome idea and it gave me an opportunity to take a look at all these things i was used to seeing and capturing it on photo. Many of these things we forget how cool it can be, just cause we live here and we're so used it. But taking a look at them with a foreigner perspective becomes a bit fun. I totally got into the mood of thinking "OHH shit this would probably be cool cause he's never seen this before!"

I took a bout 500 photos so far but a lot of them seemed kinda cool to share so heres some i took.

Today i finally got to do some riding on my new bike. Reaaally realllly reminded me of back in the days when i only got around on a bike. Luckily it was a nice day today (up until some rain in SF later that night). Gears are great, after riding a fixed gear and bmx around, you totally see how a geared bike is most efficient.


here are some left overs from Alameda Theater







so this was going to be a really cool photo, i was standing below those steps and the dog was just peeking over. Well some people freaking had to come and be all "awww look at this cute doggy!" and take him away from me. bastards.


arriving at Japantown, i stopped by the Kendama competition, very cool
