Learning photography in a unique place
I was always interested in photography, but it was in Tokyo where I really got myself into it. Tokyo is a special city and Japan, in general, is an amazing country. Not the amazingness that you can expect from a merely touristic point of view. Japan...
Paris
Just came back from my trip to europe a week ago. I finish editing the pictures and will be uploading them all this week. Enjoy!
The New iPad
I got the new iPad last week. I was waiting to get this device mainly to test my apps on it, due its huge resolution. I was a little afraid about the need to resize all my graphics to match the new iPad resolution, but fortunately it scales well and...
Instagram improvements
It’s quite a long time since I started using instagram on the iPhone. I really love this app and the concept behind it, but I still don’t understand, why it lacks of some very simple improvements that would make it better. No big stuff, just small ti...
Shibuya Canal HDR
Took this a while ago, god I miss Tokyo…
Air Counter_S a portable Geiger Counter
This is a useful portable instrument to have an approximate reading of radiation levels. It’s not for scientific purposes but it’s enough for safety. If the readings are too strong, just run away from that area. Basically with this instrument you can...
Hello… been a while! – ひさしぶり！
I know, I should have written something about not updating this blog anymore a while ago, heck I’m probably writing this for no reason since almost all my traffic now is from google. But I felt that even if it’s been so long, it was still worth telli...

It was a Sunday, it was in Yokohama.

Asakusa – Tsukiji – Asakusa
When you are too busy coding and your mind doesn’t work anymore, instead of keep pushing, take a break and do something completely different. That’s what I did on Saturday. I left home in the afternoon and walked down the Sumida River until it ends....
Baby Asahi Beer
I saw this size only in Japan!
Sometimes I saw these small cans, specially on tombs or dead altars.
Too many HDD
This is the result of buying whatever you find in Akihabara. Maybe I should recycle the magnets inside or the plates? This is just a lot of junk that spent already 2 years in my balcony…
Really cheap DIY iPad stand
Do you have an iPad and a book support? That’s what I had at home. I had one book support that I didn’t use, it cost 100 yen, it’s about 0.9€ or $1.3 then you need something to stick on it so the iPad won’t slide down.
That’s all :-)

Massive construction work at Iidabashi
It’s quite usual in Tokyo to see a building in some place, and after one week or less it just disappeared and after some months, you come back to the same place and you see a new building. Tokyo’s shape changes really quickly, but what I saw today wa...
When storage technology improvement will come?
Just look at this screenshot from Apple and let me know what you think:
I’m not criticizing Apple. In fact it’s one of the few companies that is really trying to combine design, technology, usability and performance in their products. Even if stora...
Small power
Small, old and crappy building in Kachidoki close to a big and modern one.
Maybe the owner didn’t want to sell the portion of soil where it was built. I wonder if the architects had to design the building to “avoid” that portion.
The aerial vie...
How Italians vote to STOP Nuclear Power Plants
If you want to see an example of what is NOT a democratic country, of what is NOT a Government that thinks about their own people and that ONLY cares about the interest of corrupt politicians, here you have the ballot that, we Italians, have to vote...

Just to let you know that my previous photography blog: www.darkboxnotes.com has been moved to www.zucowall.com

Why the FlyJin phenomenon
The term flyjin has been created in the twitter world of foreigners and expats living in Japan.
It’s a kind of a derivative joke from the word “gaijin” which in some context is a pejorative term of the formal “gaikokujin” meaning “foreigner”. Basical...

I took this photo from the observatory floor in the Mori tower. I think it my best photo of Tokyo tower.
Sunset over Tokyo
So obviously right now, all the big news are about the earthquake aftermath, the tsunami victims and the current state of the nuclear power plants. I wish I could give you more information, but I’m not a news reporter, and this is just a puny photobl...
Japan Earthquake aftermath
Theses are the photos I took right after the earthquake. There was no electricity in my area and no traffic light was working.
It was so weird to see no lights in all the store. I should have stock on onigiri at that time. I didn’t know they would...
Tokyo view from Mori Tower
I went for the first time at the top of Mori tower this week-end. I don’t know why I waited so long to go there, it probably one of the most famous attraction that every tourist do in their first few days in Tokyo, but for me, it took me more than a...
Wonda ads in Shibuya
I don’t know why, I was feeling for some Wonda’s coffee this morning after taking the train.
Sup! Designer Toys Store
I discover a really cool designer toys store in Yokohama called “Sup!” They mostly have a kidrobot stuff, but really, is that a bad thing ^_^ I brought back a Munny home with me, I’ll try to figure out something cool to do with it. Munny is the most...

“The MS-06 Zaku II is a mobile suit from the Mobile Su...
Shimbashi – HDR
This photo was taken near Shimbashi station, an area with tons of izakayas and bars. Seems like all the salary man of Tokyo meet each other for a beer after work in this district. It did not rain that day, but some owner of one of the bar decide to c...
