Guess the wait was worth it? S.H.Figuarts Space Sevenger

Photographs.
I’m targeting further expansion of my visual story telling through more photos across the site. Whether it’s an old section like The CATALOGUE, the relaunched One Shots galleries, or even quick blog posts. That also includes the new photo-oriented and responsive site layout.
