Hi everyone! 👋 I am Norbert, a Data Architect and #photography enthusiast living in #Tokyo. I will post my photography, musings about learning Japanese, impressions from Tokyo cafés, and other random things. よろしくお願いします。 All the photos below were shot on film with a Mamiya 6 medium-format camera.

Thanks, and nice to meet you! 👋 My wife is Japanese, and after living together in Europe for more than 10 years and facing various challenges with that, we decided to relocate to Japan. Currently "Tokyo" for work reasons; would like to move to another part of the country upon retirement.

Tokyo is probably a good starting point, yes. Personally, I never cared for the morning crush commute in and around the Tokyo area, but whatever works is what works. Seen some great areas around Toyama, Shiga, Kanagawa (in particular Hayama where a friend lives). Hope you find it.

I already posted it in another set of four, LOL 😆 It will also make an appearance as a single image one day; I promise. bsky.app/profile/norb...

Nanzo-in #Temple in Sasaguri, #Fukuoka, is notable for its reclining #Buddha statue, said to be the world's largest bronze statue at 41 meters long and 11 meters high (see ALT texts). 📷 Mamiya 6, 50mm f/4 lens, Fujicolor Pro 400H. #photography #filmphotography #japan @bskyphotos.bsky.social

😅 This is my intro post, so it needs to have a nano-portfolio 😇 I like short stories or groups of context, but I see your point. Also, obviously, posting more singles will deplete my archives less quickly 💡

Thanks so much for the welcome and for the recommendations, Jane! Already following both of them, in fact - Alfie is a friend, and I have known Andy from other social media platforms. 😎 Thanks again 👋
