Photo of the day: Alex performing in front of Okayama Station

Ian Sagabaen

Last Friday, we got to hang out with a few familiar faces. Cindy & I got to catch up with our old study abroad buddies from Okayama. Good times, as expected.

We brought them back to our apartment after a dinner in lovely Downtown San Mateo, where we reminisced with all our fun stories of old. It eventually prompted me to pull up my old photos taken five years ago in Okayama — essentially the beginning of my photography career. It was kinda cool to see how much I’ve progressed with my photography.

Above is a photo taken toward the end of our one-year tour in Japan. Alex, being the performer & musician that he is, brought his acoustic guitar, found a seat near the iconic water fountain in front of Okayama Station & played in front of a small group. Why did he do it? He said it was one of the things he wanted to do before he left Okayama. Sure, it was a bit out-of-place to see a big foreigner playing a guitar in front of a small-town Japanese train station, but it did add to the coolness factor of it all.
