View From The Prince Park Hotel Superior Comfort Room

In early March I had the opportunity to, in cooperation with JapanTravel.com, spend an evening at the Prince Park Hotel in Tokyo. This hotel is amazing, and boasts not only great service and comfort, but an awesome view from the room. As a photographer, getting an opportunity to shoot this kind of view is always welcome. I actually did a full photo story for the hotel and Japan Travel, so I hope you’ll enjoy seeing...

During our time in Kamakura, while exploring one of the many temples in the area, we came across these ferns that caught my attention. I’ve never really...

Mist of Enoshima

Last week I got together with fellow photographer Anthony Wood and we headed down to Kamakura and Enoshima for some Spring photography. Unfortunately most of the sakura were well past their prime but we still managed to get some shots we enjoyed, I think. When we got to Enoshima (after climbing and descending untold number of stairs) we settled along the rocky coast to shoot Mt Fuji at sunset and in general enjoy the atmosphere...
