Mt Fuji Sunrise On Lake Motosuko
This image is one that I took about a year ago from a sunrise on Lake Motosuko, at the base of Mt Fuji. There are five famous lakes scattered around Mt. Fuji, all formed presumably from past eruptions. Some of the lakes even used to be connected, but lava flows cut through and separated them. I’ve been to four of the five (I’ve not yet visited Yamanakako, though that is on my list to do...
Path Through The Bamboo In Kyoto
As is the case in many countries in Asia, Japan has lots of beautiful bamboo groves. The most famous one is almost certainly the aptly named “bamboo forest” in Arashiyama, Kyoto, but there are others throughout the country that offer their own unique version.

I took a lot of time to travel around and take lots of photos, and one...
Favorite Cherry Blossom Photos From The 2016 Season In Japan

There were only maybe 2 truly good weather days during the season, and only one while things were at full bloom. Nevertheless, I took a lot of images and have several that I’m very pleased with. So I thought I’d...
Why You Should Always Attach Your Camera Strap Properly
Last week I purchased a Nikon D5300, mostly for video work (I’m going to be sharing a lot of new videos this year!) and also as a backup for my D610. I was really enjoying it until Saturday evening when the camera slipped free from the Nikon strap and fell to the floor below. It didn’t fall very far, maybe a couple of feet, and it landed on a carpeted area, so I thought it...
