This is a texture shot with all different kinds of interesting Japanese Hiragana and Kanji written in various ways. I have several disk drives of nothing but uncataloged photos which I often look through for something to work on. I found this one and am not sure why I didn’t try to get […]

My daughter Aily goes through shoes like you wouldn’t believe. She is only 4 years old now but I feel like I buy shoes every other month. Not only are her feet growing fast, but she loves to play outside. I photographed her shoes one day and as you can see, she […]

Late last summer I photographed this butterfly while out hiking in the Nagano Japan Alps. Actually I was out on a BBQ with my family up in the mountains and I spent some time roaming around the trees looking for things to photograph. Normally I am not much of a nature enthusiast with […]

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 […]

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 […]
