In Japan skincare is important and women spend so much time in front of the mirror, I am no exception. Skincare is important for me and I know that I should be using fancy anti-aging creams, I have tried but always breakout. My skin can only really handle cetaphil!

If you like going to the movies and have a selection of AMCs near you it’s an unbelievably good deal. Even at my most destitute I have refused to cancel this membership because it’s basically a free activity anytime and a fun little date with myself. 3 movies a week for $25/month??? I will never shut up about this.

lecinemaclub.com posts a free new movie to stream on their website every Friday. so good. It gives me the joy that early Mubi days did. Extremely limited content, hand-picked, and available for a short time.
I also love their online journal, especially the filmmaker's film lists. Everyone from Lynne Ramsay, Jonah Hill, John Carpenter, Dasha Nekrasova, Wim Wenders, Yorgos Lanthimos, and Alex Garland, talk about 5 films they love in a short sweet and aesthetically pleasing list format.

At Dashwood, me and my boss and co-workers (David Strettell, Yeon Cho, and Martha Naranjo Sandoval) like to talk about the films we watch over the weekend. I saw this movie at IFC over the summer. The plot is simple and there is not a huge budget, but it does not matter: money is not what makes films moving, it is emotion. This is a brutal movie that does not sugar-coat the experience of youth. There is one scene in particular that is very raw and does not hold back, it features violence against a young woman and depicts a young student’s hidden desires. It is poignant. No wonder it gained such international acclaim!

I enjoy stretching my body in the morning. When I wake up my brain feels full of thoughts and I need to slow them down. I like to do yoga in the morning and only after I feel like my soul and body are in sync. I love Momo’s slow yoga routines and her calming voice. I am actually sensitive about the way people talk and she has the perfect voice tone and cadence: you can tell from that that she is empathetic and a deep thinker. She and I also have a lot in common. I have been living in New York City since I was 23, she also has been living outside of Japan for most of her life. We both me still feel a strong connection to Japan even after all these years. She is fluent in English and German but her youtube channel is in Japanese for Japanese people. I consider myself an ambassador for Asian, and particularly Japanese, photographers here in the West. I feel a strong kinship with her, in that way.

I used to be into fiction when I was young, but as I get older I feel like fiction books are not satisfying. I feel more attracted to philosophy or criticism books. My co-worker, Edan Wingfield, suggested I would like Cusk’s book, so I gave it a try. I surprised myself with how sophisticated her writing style is, and I found it was deep and fundamental as any good philosophy book.
