Fushimi Inari Shrine In Kyoto
On my first morning during my trip to Kyoto, I had planned to start shooting for the digital workshop I’m currently working on. Unfortunately, the forecast called for rain, which meant my morning plans were not to be.

So the opportunity to do that was nice. Also, I’ve grown a lot as a photographer over the...

Although it didn’t really stick or accumulate at all as it did later on, it still makes for...
