Coins to coffee
“Coins to Coffee” Cedar Park, 2016
こんばんは！ Hello, how are you doing?
Sunday was a funday for us. We enjoyed relaxing, grocery shopping, making smoothies, and watching tv. Koa and I did something new, which is converting all of our collected coins into a Starbucks gift card at the supermarket. It was pretty fun! And exciting too, watching the screen as the machine sorted all the coins and translated that into a total amount. I was impressed that the machine actually weeded out some Japanese coins that snuck into the jar. Pretty smart! Check out the video below for some of the action.
Later in the day I put on my running shoes and went for an easy run/walk around the neighborhood. It’s been a long time since I went running so I took it extra-easy today. It was a lot of fun to get some sun and fresh air. My legs felt great, and after the run, I spend a while on the exercise bike. I guess the smoothie we made earlier gave me a lot of energy. 😄
Tomorrow is Memorial Day here in the States. We’ll be at home again, spending the day together as a family.
Take care!

Lukasz Kazimierz Palka Tokyo Street Photographer
I think this is such a great video for a number of reasons.
First, the photos that Lukasz Kazimierz Palka creates are wonderful and beautiful. I love his night shots, especially the vivid colors and incredible sharpness. He really captures the vibrance of the Tokyo streets and the people there. Fantastic!
Second, I feel he has an honest perspective on his own motivations for photography and why he takes the photos he takes. I thought the way he got into photography was interesting and realistic (a way to get out of his apartment and explore the city), then his explanation that he takes photos of subjects he finds beautiful is honest and straightforward. It’s the way it should be.
And third… it’s Tokyo! My favorite city of all time. It was my dream to live and work there, and I did for a few years. It’s funny to think that I have not been there (even visiting) for 15 years. It seems like it was just yesterday! I really like Osaka, but my heart is in Tokyo. So, seeing Lukasz Kazimierz’s photo brings back so many good memories.
Anyways, please watch the video. I think you’ll enjoy it!
