Photography

Japan by Julian Chokkattu

I took more than 1,000 photos in Japan, and editing all of them has made me want to go back. It’s a country I have always wanted to visit, even before I attempted to study the language for two years in college (I failed). It’s a beautiful country, with incredible food, and did I mention the almost perfect infrastructure?

Before I start rambling forever, here are the photos you want to see. It starts with Tokyo, then Kyoto, into Nara and Osaka briefly, and then finally back to Tokyo.

Richard Koci Hernandez, assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley, said, "Your creativity grows when you practice with your tool." This site is a tool and a journal to see how I improve as a photographer — a place for me to take a look at my own work and ask, 'how could I have done that better?'

The Oculus refers to a circular opening in a dome, more specifically the oculus in The Pantheon in Rome, which is a circular opening at the structure's center. It is also known as the Devil's Hole.
