1. The essential book that I love to have around my desk.
A Dictionary of Color Combinations
Sanzo Wada (1883-1967) was an artist, teacher, costume and kimono designer during a turbulent time in avant-garde Japanese art and cinema. Wada was ahead of his time in developing traditional and Western influenced color combinations, Helping to lay the foundations for contemporary color research. Based on his original 6-volume work from the 1930s, this book offers 348 color combinations, as attractive and sensuous as the books own design.
At the moment this book influenced me so much about Japanese traditional colors. I think this book gonna be the new aesthetic that I'll use for visual works in the future.
2. My Main gears
These are my main gears for grab and go shoot. Actually, I have another camera which is RICOH GRii where I took it with me most of the time.
I could write a whole new content about how I love my RICOH GRii.
The image of SONY A7iii camera you see above is equipped with TTArtisan 35mm f 1.4 lens. I bought it because of the look and the weight, whenever I took my main SONY 24mm 1.4 G Master lens on the shoot is quite heavy. But don' t get me wrong G Master is a really fast and super sharp lens. I love both of them.

3. MUJI aromas essential oil
But in Thailand, they don't sell it anymore. The one in the picture I bought from Sapporo, Japan. I have Yuzu oil to create an active mood for working and Hinoki oil for relaxation after work or cruising the internet to find ideas and inspirations.
I would like to go to Japan and buy more of it if I know COVID would happen.

4. The Keychron K2 Wireless Keyboard.
This one is tough and has a fast connection. It is a mood changer because it came with LED lights below the button so you can change the color whenever you feel like it. The feeling of pressing is a bit enjoying like you were pressing your computer keyboard back in the '90s.

5. JBL FLIP4 speaker
It's been so long since I got this little bad boy, from this moment this bad boy has been so many places with me from the beach, the pool, the party, and even the photoshoot. It's a delivered good sound, good bass, and it's tough for any situation.
Even JBL has a new model coming up, but I'll still be using this one for many years to come for sure. I love it.

6. Kindle Paper White with cute price
I remembered I bought this when it was on sale. It's waterproof and it can slip in any bags and I carrying this whenever I go outside. I always had a feeling when unexpected thing happens, so I can enjoy reading my books.
I have a lot of Japanese culture books in here, since I really appreciated Japanese traditional cultures.
