An Evening at the Kurashiki Bikan Historical District
Last week I had the pleasure of paying a visit to Okayama Prefecture with my family. Before we went, I was especially looking forward to photographing some spots I had perhaps neglected when we lived there. One place that was high on my list was the Kurashiki Bikan Historical District. This area is filled with old merchant buildings of the 17th century, and even has no electrical lines running around it in order to preserve...
Shimotsui Sunset
This past week my family had the opportunity to travel back to Okayama where we lived 3 years ago.

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

I actually did a full photo story for the hotel and Japan Travel, so I hope you’ll enjoy seeing...
Death of a Sakura

For whatever reason, this full flower had fallen off and landed on the soft green moss beneath. With the lighting it was just perfect! So many photographers were there and all pointing the cameras up into the...
