Visions of Japan (2023) /  by Julian Chokkattu

It has been more than two years since I’ve last uploaded to my website (sorry!). Here are some of my favorite photos from my trip to Japan last year for my honeymoon. We went in May and started in Tokyo, then Sapporo, Takayama, Hiroshima, Itsukushima Shrine, and then Fukuoka (and we flew back out from Tokyo again). This was our second trip to Japan following our 2018 visit, where we went to Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka.

A Quarantine World /  by Julian Chokkattu

It’s been two months since I started sheltering in place in New York, and I am very thankful that I’m able to continue working remotely and that I (and my friends and family) are all in good health. The day before the shelter-in-place law was announced, I visited Times Square to see just how empty my city was starting to become, and the rest of the photos are from when I went out walking my dog, all within the confines of Williamsburg. I hope you enjoy them.

Portland, Maine /  by Julian Chokkattu

I'm still here! I haven't posted since last April, but that's largely because I haven't gone on many long vacations -- that doesn't mean I haven't traveled.

I went to Portland, Maine last summer, and took a lot of photos with a variety of phones for work. Most of them never got published, so I decided I may as well post them now. I did the same late last year with a short trip to San Francisco, so I'll post those photos soon as well.

While I have traveled to other countries since then, the trips have been for work and I've used my phone to take photos more than my DSLR. I put off uploading them to this site, but I realized there's no point in only uploading photos from my DSLR, as smartphones can take excellent photos. I'll be uploading more from these smaller trips soon. I'll be heading to Japan later this year, and I plan to use my DSLR extensively during my trip. 

Here are a few of my favorite photos from Maine -- some are taken with a DSLR.
