Recently, I decided to sell all my #filmphotography equipment, and focus on digital #photography in the future. I wrote an article about this topic; it's quite a bit longer (and certainly more rambling) than my usual daily photography tidbits. #shootfilm #photographersunited @bskyphotos.bsky.social

I Decided To Stop Shooting Film
Analog photography has given me a lot of joy over the years - but the time has come to orient myself towards the future, and focus on digital photography.

Good morning from #Japan! Today's #photoblog image is from Hosen-in Temple in Ohara north of #Kyoto. I had put my camera on the tatami mat I sat on while facing in the opposite direction, and blindly took some shots. This one came out nicely. #photography #streetphotography @bskyphotos.bsky.social

After last week’s fall and injury, healing progressed well, so I went to Itabashi Central Hospital this morning to get my stitches removed. Cost: 260¥ (€1,46/$1.64). Went for some light training to the kickboxing gym afterwards, and feel great. Life is good. 😊 #japanlife #tokyo #itabashi

I foolishly (and rather unnecessarily) started to run on my way to the station yesterday. A heavy office backpack in one hand and hitting uneven pavement was all it took to throw me off balance. Ultimately, I hit the ground with my chin which started bleeding profusely, and later needed stitching.
