DAY 13

Thank you to everyone who participated in Day 13! The definition of "Lo-fi" tends to slip people's minds, but do give it a little thought every now and then! 😂 Now then, let's dive right into the roundup!

First up is Tam_VP-san!
Standing proud against a breathtaking landscape — it's Yotei-zan, the Hokkaido Fuji, symbol of Niseko! What a wonderful eye for framing! I found myself wondering if there are also animals in this collection — Shima Enaga, foxes, brown bears... the thought alone made me smile! Pulling back this far with the camera must have taken some effort. I thought this image had the beauty of a postcard or a calendar shot. 😍

Next is siran-san!
The countless scars etched into that red frame tell the story of a fierce, unrelenting battle. These aren't just scratches — they looked to me like proof of survival, marks left by a machine that has endured. No matter how battered, those eyes never lose their lock on the enemy. There's a quiet, undeniable strength in that. When a fight on the razor's edge is finally won, those scars become something to be proud of. I thought this was a seriously cool shot that captured one electrifying moment. 🥰

Next is Misoshiru Gohan-san!
The face is smeared with tar, emptied of expression. Even the eyes, lifted toward the light, carry no emotion. It feels like someone who has only just — barely — registered that they are still here. On the verge of collapse, yet still standing. Pushing through, and through, and through again. Still reaching for something just out of grasp. And the light filtering in — gently, quietly warm. That's what this image felt like to me. ✨

Next is Juniper B-san!
The character's gaze falls on a tire track — and the way that's framed is so brilliant, I genuinely think it's genius! A tire track that says nothing on its own suddenly becomes the star of the shot. A tire that doesn't even exist in this world is showing signs of wear. Genius! I said it twice because it deserves to be said twice! I thought this was a wonderful shot born from a real flash of inspiration. 🤩

Next is hal (Lv.54)-san!
A delivery worker, caught in a moment of rest. There's something in their expression that looks almost like easy conversation — a quiet laugh, maybe. Rain, sandstorms, blizzards — the deliveries never stop. And yet, I found myself thinking: what truly restores their weary heart is the smiles they find waiting at every door they deliver to. 😊
