Sakura up close and personal taken with a Nikkor 28mm f/1.4 lens last Spring in Nagano city, Japan. It was a very beautiful day and my timing was right on with best times to shoot Sakura. I believe the very next day if I remember correctly rained and pretty much ruined any further […]

Below are some recent photographs I’ve taken of the Autumn colors in Nagano, Japan. For some reason I don’t remember this much color during the Fall season, but this year it has been really fun getting out and shooting away. I particularly like the color red this season and the yellow is also […]

Took this shot of a guy writing and putting together some sort of fortune or wish paper to be tied on a tree as they do in Japan. I was at Zenkoji Temple in Nagano Japan taking some photos of the Shichi-Go san when I saw him walking down the street. I thought […]

As seen in some of my other photos, the pigeons were out in full force on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Zenkoji, Nagano Japan. Here this young boy is enjoying the novelty of feeding the birds.

I was out shooting the "shichi-go-san" boys and girls today at Zenkoji Temple when "Out of the Blue" this guy came walking by with this bright blue blazer on. It just begged to be photographed so I took this shot. I like how the "shichi-go-san" is walking the other way in the photograph […]

I saw this mural painted on a restaurant near where I live. I never thought of photographing it before, but this time I took a few shots. Living in Japan always presents interesting new photo opportunities each and every day. It’s awesome.

This is a closeup of a turtle found in the famous pond outside Zenkoji Temple, Nagano Japan. I chose to shoot a black in white because the debris and colors that surrounded the turtle seemed to distract my eye too much. I caught a fish catching up in the upper left hand corner […]

Here are a couple of paper wishes tied to a rope in Nagano Japan. I chose to make the background black and white to enhance the paper decorations. The title friends represents the assumption that since these were tied very near each other that they were done most likely by friends or even […]
