Mt Fuji Beneath The Stars
This past week, my wife’s mother was able to visit us here in Japan, and so we wall took a couple of days to go camping at Lake Mototsuko at the base of Mt Fuji. I was excited to take this trip for a lot of reasons, not least of which was the fact that this was my first time visiting these lakes.

Pacific Sunrise
Back in January I took a trip to Choshi on the Pacific coast of Chiba Prefecture with my photographer buddy Anthony Wood. I got there later than I had intended, which meant I missed the real sunrise.

It was tempting to shoot it from afar, and I did that too, but my favorite shot ended up being this less...
Morning Waves In Choshi Japan

As I said in a previous post, I arrived to the coast later than I had intended. This meant I wasn’t ready to start shooting until the sun was already up, leaving me to rush a bit once I arrived to try to make something of...
