A Stone At Rest
After seeing the first sunrise of 2015 with my family, we drove further north a bit in Chiba Prefecture to the town of Choshi. Since I was with my family, I didn’t really have a ton of time to take photos. I wasn’t really there to take photos at all, but of course being a photographer you just can’t pass some opportunities up (and thankfully I have a family who understands this)! Knowing I had...
An Autumn Creek in Japan
There are certain places in Japan that are truly unique to Japan – you can’t find them anywhere else. There are other places that actually remind me a good bit of home. This little spot fellow photographer Anthony Wood and I found in Gunma early last month is an example of the latter. Particularly, it reminded me a lot of North Carolina, where I lived both as a child and for several years as an...
Nanayo Falls at Mt Mitake

Mt Mitake Rock Garden
I think this may be my favorite photo from my recent hike around Mt. Mitake.

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

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...
