Beneath The Pensacola Beach Pier
I’ve been going through some old photos lately and came across this one that I’m pretty sure I haven’t shared before. I took this in 2011, not long after my interest in photography had been rekindled. My Nikon D7000 was only a few months old, and I had just purchased my first super wide angle lens – the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. At the time I was living in Pensacola, Florida, so I headed over to...
Zarragossa Street in Pensacola Florida
Today is the 4th of July, and for my non-American friends, that means it’s Independence Day! Although we couldn’t have the customary fireworks, my family did have some homemade burgers. On a day like this I’m left remembering my home. I love Japan, but there are definitely times that I would love to be back in the states.

The river is called the Pemigewasset (pronounced pem-ee-juh-wah-set), and...
A Pensacola Beach Sunset

This is actually the city I was born in, and though I moved around a lot as a kid, it’s where I spent much of my life up through college. When I was a kid, it wasn’t quite as nice of a city, but over the...
Early Autumn on the Blue Ridge Parkway
Though I currently live in Japan, for several years my wife and I lived in the foothills of North Carolina. Unfortunately during that time I wasn’t huge into photography, so I missed a lot of great photographic opportunities living in that beautiful area. However, before we came back to Japan my wife and I took a visit back to Wilkes County, and one day we got a chance to go for a drive along the...
