Ferns of Kamakura
I mentioned in my previous post about taking a trip down to Enoshima last week with fellow photographer Anthony Wood. We had actually made the trip for Kamakura, but Enoshima is just a quick train ride away so we went there for a good part of the afternoon. During our time in Kamakura, while exploring one of the many temples in the area, we came across these ferns that caught my attention. I’ve never really...
Mist of Enoshima
Last week I got together with fellow photographer Anthony Wood and we headed down to Kamakura and Enoshima for some Spring photography. Unfortunately most of the sakura were well past their prime but we still managed to get some shots we enjoyed, I think.

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...
Skytree Karaoke
Was walking around Asakusa this afternoon, specifically near Sensoji, doing some scouting for a photo shoot I’m hoping to do in the near future. As I was exploring some tiny alleys I came across this scene and thought it was kind of interesting. The alley itself was actually kind of interesting too, full of bikes and various doors going who knows where. Although I wasn’t really there to do any serious shooting (I took most...
