the homie from HIROSHIMA makes a trip over to CALIfornia!
as he gets some footy for his new up & coming video part for BP (Brooklyn Projects).
Got to show AOI around Los Angeles & San Fran with a pit stop in Fresno. Met up with some homies that helped with filming and guiding us around to get the eats.
I was meeting up with the homies from Japan Aoi and Kotaro, with my old Marine buddy, Dan, who is going to be our guide around the streets of Los Angeles.
Aoi and Kotaro were getting footage for an upcoming skate vid they are putting together, so they hit all the major spots.
Dan and I were catching up as we explored the Santa Monica, Venice, and Koreatown.
The sun was shining and it was a perfect LA skate trip.
It is autumn en Portlandia & the homie has come to visit.
Aoi Tsuzuki is working his way across the North American continent from Vancouver, B.C, to NYC to the PNW, getting some footage for his upcoming skate video.
Rombia is getting some photoshoot time with our skater as well as enjoing the time showing him around to get some footy for his skate vid and to skating with him agian.
Kazu has a style that I felt was very free-flowing and unconstricted. A hard-working skater who, through mutual friends, was gracious enough to come along and represent Rombia in Japan.

The summer of 2014 is a bittersweet season, as it is my departure from Japan and a move to the DMV (D.C., Maryland & Virginia) on the east coast. To say goodbye to a country that helped me grow and to friends that I will never forget.
My experience in Japan is the greatest treasure of memories that I have.
Rombia was born in Japan.
My creative ambitions like photography, music, design, journalism began to flourish in Japan.
