About Me
I am Keitatsu Osone, a Japanese who grew up and lives
in Shanghai, China. I love using engineering to bring
some of my interesting ideas into reality. I love the
sensation when my rocket motor test fires in front of me.
I love capturing the "awe" moment of life with my lens.
I love all the sports games I participated in, no matter
their outcome. I love a supportive community spirit.
And, I live for what I love.
