1/75

circa 2006
I haven’t had the chance to take any personal photos lately. The one night we made an effort to go shoot, we ended up talking with an insightful security guard the whole time.
selfie in Sannomiya, Kobe. Haven’t been to this city since right after the earthquake. Though this is a crappy photo, there’s a stylishness very different from Tokyo.
time flies. so much to do.

I finally made it to the Teshima Art Museum after so many years trying. this is by far up there as one my favorite architectural experiences. so sublime and spiritual. #西沢立衛 #ryuenishizawa #豊島美術館 #teshimaartmuseum
300km/h on the Nozomi. I don’t understand why California is so opposed to high speed rail.

crack of dawn from yesterday. iPhone edits. 🔈 speedometer #deegandaydesign #architecture #architecturalphotography
quick drone edits on iphone. 🔈: Cornelius #deegandaydesign #architecture #architecturalphotography
Weather is just not cooperating, these days... Last year, all the fires made for unfavorable shooting conditions but made for apocalyptic sunsets.
from last year for @zymestudios w/ my trusty assistant.
All this rain. I’m itching to travel. 連日の雨。旅したくてむずむず。25R
I love you, おばーちゃん
@mike.nesbit BLUES in Ames, IA @black.contemporary
@thomasprinz123 exhibition space in candlelight in Ames, IA. @black.contemporary
@petergoche magic hour in Ames, IA back in October. one more pic over at @ta.te_taiyo
I haven’t been carrying my personal camera around these days. That moment when you realize you’ve only had lenses in the bag... 最近カメラを持ち歩いてないのに気付いた。カバンの中はレンズだけでしたー #iPhone #vsco #architecture
Calder : Nonspace beautiful exhibition design too. #alexandercalder #hauserwirth
sick again... pic from the weekend in Tijuana,MX
View from the Mexican side of the border. Lots of cameras, barbed wire fencing, and USCG helicopters and boats. It’s actually kinda funny watching from this side of the fence.
photos and videos I took last night for @apc_paris in Silver Lake. pretty amazed at how fast they cranked out a nice video. ・・・ #APCdenim | Last night’s hand painting session in #LosAngeles by #JeanTouitou
I saw that @michelleobama visited @paralosninosorg (designed by @dsharc) today to read to some lucky kids. That makes me happy. 📷: ✌🏻
been waiting ages for this. @nmda_inc #MASSX #architecture
The Blues, 2018 by @mike.nesbit #mikenesbit #theblackcontemporary #ames #iowa
I’ve seen almost every single sunrise and sunset last week and drank tons of beer through the days and nights. fun for sure, but I’m exhausted. (first time in TX. though, just flying through)
Drove a ton out in the desert. Now heading to Ames, IA.
today’s clouds were nice.
happening from about a month ago. finally got around to compiling the video.
📽💺📸
so many thoughts on this facade every time I passed by. it’s very bold and very pink; unafraid. *from a couple weeks back. #osaka #architecture #japan
Japan trip. Just 4 days.
you don’t understand how good these french fries are.
I need a vacation from all this.
Today was a milestone for our studio. I’m excited and want to post more but I‘m pretty backed up with photos from other studios and project admining ...and I have to wake up in a couple hours to be ready to catch the morning magic hour. It’s been a wild weekend/week and I’ve probably slept a total of 8 hrs in the past 4 days so I’m rambling. #notarendering
cereus peruvianus. cactus album. I don’t have a macro lens so I kinda improvised with a tilt-shift lens.
nephew and then the pics he took with my camera.
6th Street Bridge progress from a couple months back. Finally got around to downloading the images. #architecture #6thstreetbridge #losangeles
Cloud and color changes in a 30 minute span.
Congratulations to @yu2e_inc for winning the @aia_la Multifamily Residential Award last night for their Bluplex project!
A quick morning shoot from last year for @brooksbrothersjapan Aoyama Flagship store. Thank you, AK!

A rare photo taken of me. I wasn’t supposed to go to Hawaii with a pudge bod. 🤭 📷: @_octove_
shake yo’ tail feathers!
At times I don’t feel like I’m in the US. Everyone treats me like I’m a Japanese tourist. Even then、ハワイはいつ来ても最高。帰りたくないわ
満喫しております。
6th St Bridge #losangeles 2018
more recovered images from my accidentally deleted HD. from 2014 or 2015. Standing this close to a fast moving freight train in the dark was all kinds of thrills. #losangeles
It’s not easy to take pictures with a camera and a drone at the same time. #dji #djimavicair #6thstreetbridge #michaelmaltzan #losangeles

わんもあー @gqjapan #gqjapan #gqjapan6月号 #apcparis #laurentderooarchitecte #wordla #architecturephotography
spring cleaning.
at jury duty this morning. it’s insanely boring and can feel my soul leaving my body... I have to show up for 2 more summons this month...
대단히 감사합니다 @gq_korea #gqkorea #gqmagazine #apcparis #laurentderooarchitecte #wordla #architecture #architecturephotography
did a emergency sideways skid landing with my drone. apparently it can’t see the ground when it gets too dark and the GPS goes haywire inside a concrete and metal house (it started flying by itself). the landing was epic and I wish I had the video recording...
ménage à trois.
found some pics I took for @apc_paris in @gqstyle wuuuwuuu #laurentderooarchitecte #wordLA #apc
good night.
back in the day when I chased a rock for a week all the way to @lacma 2012

ambush drone flights. stop car, launch from sidewalk, snap picture, land, grab, and drive off. still flying with no memory card... * unrelated note, I used to love driving. now I despise parking. #djimavicair #losangeles
meet 飛び_taiyo (to.bi_taiyo). #djimavicair
posted this before but I’m feeling New York today. you can see others at @at_taiyo and my new Architecture only @ta.te_taiyo #architecture #santiagocalatrava
got stuck trying to finish up work. barely got in a test flight. *mental note, don’t fly a drone in the dark. can’t see this tiny little thing. I think it also choppy because I’m too lazy to download the files... #dji #djimavicair #mavicair #dronestagram
I’m not down with Oprah but the future is female.
Found a side shot I took while huddling next to some bush to avoid the freezing wind in almost total darkness, save for the stars. I’m lucky to work where I work. @deegan_day_design Also, shout out to @kentique.design who’s help made a lot of these shots possible.
More recovery file digging. A snap from 3 years ago to the day. I appreciate bars that take ice seriously.
