I just love photographing and post processing these war torn grunge shots. I took this from a metal sign fragment near a railroad and thought the colors and mangled look would be fun to work with in Photoshop. These kinds of objects are abundant in modern Japan and it makes me wonder how far back they originated. Lots of fun!

This is my youngest daughter Sasha Caroline who is one year and five months old. Here she is playing at Zenkoji, Temple in Nagano Japan while I am on a photoshoot. I turned around and saw her staring up at me and so I took this closeup shot. She’s a lot of fun and like her sister Aily, likes the camera very much. In Photoshop I enhanced the eyes, colors, and did a little bit of dodging and burning.
