The Five Story Pagoda of Sensoji
If you read my blog regularly you know that I recently purchased the Nikon D610 and sold my D7000. After selling the D7000, I used the money to purchase Nikon’s 16-35mm f/4 VR lens. I’ve really been enjoying it! It’s a spectacular lens, and sharp as can be. Also recently, my oldest daughter has begun to get into photography, using an old camera my wife had, so we went down to Asakusa earlier this week...
Nanayo Falls at Mt Mitake
One of the main spots I wanted to hit on my hike around Mt. Mitake was Nanayo Falls. At a height of 50 meters it’s not a major waterfall by any stretch, but it’s still quite lovely and a nice resting spot for hikers along the way.

It’s just a great time of year, filled with great weather, gorgeous scenery, and...
Mt Mitake Rock Garden

As you might imagine, after an early morning and many hours of hiking, it was nice to reach such a quiet, calm spot like this....
Autumn On The Rocks
Over the course of this year, I’ve been trying to transition my photographic work more into the realm of nature. Although I do many kinds of photography, ultimately this is where I’d like to focus, along with some travel photography as well. Of course, Tokyo isn’t exactly rife with nature, and not having a car currently, it can make it difficult to find good places for that kind of work. There is, however, one area...
