Kaneyama Waterfall In Yamanashi Prefecture Japan
Last week I took a brief trip to the Fuji Five Lakes area, which is at the base of Mt. Fuji. This area is known for its five lakes which were formed from eruptions of Fuji long in the past. Obviously the main attraction is Mt. Fuji itself and the great views of it from these lakes, but there are some other great places in the area to visit as well. The Kaneyama Waterfall is...
Tokyo Blade
This past week I had the opportunity to run down to the Shiodome area of Tokyo with the intention of shooting some of the great architecture in the area.

This lovely waterfall is easy to access via a combo of train and bus rides, which made it a perfect choice for...

I also love the texture of the rocks – the lines that zigzag across them makes for an appealing scene, especially when drenched in the shine of tidal waters...
Mist of Enoshima

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...
