I was just perusing through Google Maps the mountains of Nara but somehow got sidetracked into looking at Toyota’s factories throughout the Nagoya area, Edward Burtynsky style. On an urban-planning level, it’s fascinating to see how integrated all the subsidiaries are. I waste a lot of time on stupid shit that just makes me lose sleep.
past weekend w/ @jtterrace and friends.

夜さ来い 👺👍🏻 #よさこい祭り #yosakoi #高知 #kochi #japan
typical dystopic mish-mash in Japan. an amusement park, love hotel, ‘mansion’ apartments, restaurants/bars, juku cramming school, hostel, and a Buddhist temple all a stone’s throw from each other. many hidden places indeed. #lacachette #浅草 #asakusa #tokyo
4AM wake up. 5:45AM shoot. being jet-lagged helped.
Times I needed and wished I had brought my architecture camera. finally got to see this. @klein_dytham_architecture
sweating balls is an understatement. wearing cotton will lead to embarrassment. nothing dries. currently fighting off a typhoon and a cold...
Kōchi, you’ve been wild! Thanks, Yujin! #よさこい #yosakoi #高知 #kōchi #japan

heavily inspired by @hiroshisugimoto_ with a little added drama. fun shoot.
I’ve been part of the design, construction and photography of this house for years now but it never gets old. @deegan_day_design
one of those shots I don’t know what to do with. taken in a single shot in total darkness. surprisingly little retouching other than for interior white balancing. @deegandaydesign 📷 2016
earfquakes and illegal fireworks.
so simple. everything has a purpose.

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!
@shariflyncharchitecture images are featured in the upcoming @dwellmagazine issue
my new #kiriko ochoko from Osaka paired with Kagatobi 藍 sake from Ishikawa prefecture enjoyed in LA. 美味しく頂きました。

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
