View From The Prince Park Hotel Superior Comfort Room
In early March I had the opportunity to, in cooperation with JapanTravel.com, spend an evening at the Prince Park Hotel in Tokyo. This hotel is amazing, and boasts not only great service and comfort, but an awesome view from the room. As a photographer, getting an opportunity to shoot this kind of view is always welcome. I actually did a full photo story for the hotel and Japan Travel, so I hope you’ll enjoy seeing...
Death of a Sakura
This photo is one of the first ones I took during this year’s cherry blossom season around Tokyo. I went out early one morning to Shinjuku Park, where thankfully several trees had already begun to bloom quite beautifully. For whatever reason, this full flower had fallen off and landed on the soft green moss beneath. With the lighting it was just perfect!

Sakura at Chidorigafuchi
I’m just getting around to editing many of the photos I took during cherry blossom season in the Tokyo area. I got to visit a number of different places, and thankfully the season was really fantastic. Last year the season was very short and the weather was not very good at all. This year, the blossoms lasted much longer and we had some great temperatures and clear skies to enjoy them. One of the places...
Falling Of The Blossoms at Mizumoto Koen
The 2014 Cherry Blossom season has come and gone around the Kanto region of Japan. It was great and I will have many photos to share over the coming weeks, but I did want to share this one I took in Mizumoto Park in Tokyo. This park is actually on the outskirts of Tokyo, and not too far from my home. I had gone by bike to check it out for a future photo shoot...
Kawazu Sakura in Macro
Towards the end of March, just as the Sakura were beginning to blossom, I made an evening trip to Asakusa to see what I might find. As I was walking along the river, I could see some trees across the way that had blossomed quite fully already. These weren’t the typical Somei Yoshino kind you see in Japan though, but rather the Kawazu variety which bloom earlier, last much longer, and have a deep pink...
