Shoot For The Moon
“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” This is a photo I took in Choshi earlier this year. As the day came to an end, Anthony Wood and I found ourselves on the rocky Japanese coast line, with this lighthouse beaming a light through the night sky. It was tempting to shoot it from afar, and I did that too, but my favorite shot ended up being this less...
Atami Nights
This is another photo from my recent trip through Atami in Shizuoka Prefecture. As I mentioned in a previous post, I got there a bit later than I would have liked, so I ended up taking some shots I hadn’t really planned on in an effort o maximize my time. Sometimes you just have to role with the punches as they say, and as is frequently the case, this ended up producing one of my...
Chapel at Karuizawa Kogen Church
One of the places high on my list to visit and shoot during my recent trip to Karuizawa was the Karuizawa Kogen Church.

This particular visit ended up being pretty fantastic and unique. Fellow photographer Anthony Wood and I arrived at the church during their evening...

Unfortunately the biggest lens I currently have is an 85mm full frame lens, and even using DX mode on my camera I had to crop significantly. Still, it didn’t turn out too badly. Hope you got to enjoy it, wherever you are! Camera: Nikon D610...

At 125 meters tall (over 400 feet) this tower would normally be around 40 stories, but it actually only has 4 floors. The first floor is where you enter and access the elevators, while the other three floors are all at the upper levels....
