Some very sad news today – Robin Williams has died, apparently by suicide

August 11, 2014 – 23:53

I've always enjoyed his movies, and despite his manic personality (or perhaps because of it?), thought that he was extremely talented. Apparently he also struggled with depression which, for someone like me who always saw him as upbeat and full of energy, is something which is hard to fathom.

Came across this link via pourmecoffee – on depression and getting help. It is hard to imagine that depression can have such a crippling effect on one's life, but it's important to recognize that it does exist, and one can get help and fight it.

Deliberately blurred

August 5, 2014 – 13:29

Had the chance to see the Edogawa fireworks last Saturday with some friends from work – the weather was ever so much more accommodating compared to the Adachi fireworks 2 weeks ago!

Since I've already taken lots of "normal" fireworks photos, I thought I'd play around with focus blur, just for fun. It was my first time, and a little harder than I thought since it's hard to focus manually in the dark! Still, I enjoyed it – though I think overall I still prefer "normal" fireworks since it's less hit-and-miss, especially in regards to composition (most of those shots are greatly cropped)

I'll post the a few "normal" shots later as well, but for now, goodnight from Tokyo 🙂
