Photography

Photography is one of the ways I observe cities beyond my research in urban sociology. Through travel and everyday life, I enjoy documenting landscapes, architecture, transportation systems, and the ordinary moments that shape urban experiences.

The photographs on this page were taken across China, Japan, and North America.
