From my “Autumn in Japan” series.
I’ve wanted to visit Asia since I was a teenager, and in October of 2010, my wish finally came true. I spent about 10 days in Japan.
My fascination with Asian culture and traditions finally became a reality to me, and the photographer in me went into overdrive. In 10 days, I captured 2,500+ pictures. I hope you enjoy my first (but hopefully not my last) perspective of this beautiful & amazing country.
The ceiling of the Royal Park Hotel that I stayed in, in Nihonbashikakigara, Chuo-ku, Tokyo reminded me of the jacks I played with as a child, but I didn’t find the pink rubber ball. Captured with my Nikon D90.
Converted to black and white in PSE 8.
Featured in the “Photography Japan” Group, March 2011.

Photography to me isn’t just about capturing beauty or magic. It’s about capturing life as it is. Whether that’s ugly, dirty, beautiful, complicated, simple or slightly altered – it’s the perception of the person behind the camera. That’s what makes the art of photography so real and unique, and that’s why it’s a passion that drives me and leaves me wanting more.
