Sometimes we feel working occupies all of our life. When I was in Japan, I saw the incredible sight of people rushing out of office buildings late at night to catch the last subway train. It made me think about our relationship with our job. 🤔 This scene is inspired by @asteryx Terry McLaughlin’s photography 📷 . . . #miniature #agencylife #work #overtime #latenight #working #japan #travel #subway #train #vacation #tokyo #Ginza #pnw #seattle #art #miniaturefigures #shotoniphone #FigurativelySpeaking #ミニチュア #旅 #日本 #銀座 #東京 #東京メトロ (at 东京银座 Ginza, Tokyo) https://www.instagram.com/p/By74IpShEO-/?igshid=6oa1twdz3uks

Sometimes we step out of our office in the hope of finding serenity and restoring sanity. Last month in Japan I finally visited Arashiyama, the place in Kyoto I had been longing to see for years. Standing in the bamboo forest, even with hundreds of tourists, I felt the calmness I haven’t had in a while. Changing the scenery really does help you recharge ✈️ . . . #miniature #agencylife #arashiyama #kyoto #bamboo #japan #travel #serenity #sanity #recharge #vacation #pnw #seattle #art #miniaturefigures #shotoniphone #FigurativelySpeaking #ミニチュア #旅 #嵐山 #京都 #癒し #日本 (at Arashiyama, Kyoto - 京都嵐山) https://www.instagram.com/p/BySrte2B71B/?igshid=j8aiau8shn3o

In order to capture the serene moment I experienced at Arashiyama, Kyoto in Japan when sunlight came through the leaves of the bamboo forest, I tried to strategically place limited quality of tiny bamboos I have to recreate the atmosphere of a somewhat confined space. It turned out to be very difficult to shoot against sunlight and it took me an hour to get the shot but I’m pleased with the result. ☺️☀️ . . . #miniature #BTS #behindthescenes #process #agencylife #arashiyama #kyoto #bamboo #japan #travel #serenity #sanity #recharge #vacation #pnw #seattle #art #miniaturefigures #shotoniphone #FigurativelySpeaking #ミニチュア #旅 #嵐山 #京都 #癒し #日本 (at Arashiyama, Kyoto - 京都嵐山) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByktKNfgBVA/?igshid=4hrfmkkbehdi

We hope to redeem ourselves from the mistakes we made one day. The new @LionKing movie is coming out in just about a week and I can barely contain my excitement. I have so many fond memories of the original movie and I can’t wait to see how the story is retold.🦁 . . . #miniature #agencylife #LionKing #lion #disney #redemption #childhoodmemory #prideofrock #hakunamatata #pnw #seattle #art #miniaturefigures #shotoniphone #FigurativelySpeaking #ミニチュア @disney @disneystudios @disneyanimation (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzszNTOAzG0/?igshid=1w576rs22qur8

One day we hope to afford a more “dry clean only” lifestyle. . . . #miniature #agencylife #laundromat #laundry #poor #singlelife #citylife #sigh #dreaming #dryclean #chores #pnw #seattle #art #miniaturefigures #miniaturephotography #photographer #shotoniphone #FigurativelySpeaking #ミニチュア (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxPup2WlwkN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ma7wygzvwpnp

(Swipe ➡️) To take the Japan themed picture, I sat by the window for 2 hours when the sun played hide and seek with me. Had to hastily take this video in between shots (pardon the jolt😅) I made the Japanese temple gate (torii) with coffee stir sticks and chopsticks. I was surprised how well it turned out. This picture is now available on my @Society6 store with framing options! . . . #miniature #BTS #behindthescenes #agencylife #vacation #travel #japan #kyoto #tokyo #tourist #toriii #pnw #seattle #art #miniaturefigures #miniaturephotography #photographer #shotoniphone #FigurativelySpeaking #ミニチュア #神社 #鳥居 (at Kyoto, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw1_VcyF8mc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ha0vbm4l8c6r
