Shiraito Falls
In May I took a trip down to Shizuoka Prefecture for a meeting, and anytime I travel I can’t help but hope to use the chance to also take some photos! Thankfully, the meeting ended in the early afternoon which left me just enough time to take a short trip to Shiraito Falls. This lovely waterfall is easy to access via a combo of train and bus rides, which made it a perfect choice for...

The area around Nikko is filled with great hiking spots and breathtaking scenery, including some magnificent...
Kimono Shoot With Yoko

She actually came over to a friend’s house and dressed all our children up in traditional Japanese kimonos. Being the only photographer present, I ended up taking pictures of all the kids after she had dressed them all up. This also gave me a chance to talk a little about my photography, and...
