Window Jock - I particularly like this candid shot of a Japanese Window Washer in downtown Nagano city. You can see he is looking right at me when I took the photo. I thought, what are you going to do? Run after me?….laugh…joke.

The white lanterns were really cool. For some reason, the lighting, backgrounds, and cleanliness of the lanterns provided some fresh new shots.

This image depicts a Japanese monk walking up the main path to entrance of Zenkoji Temple in Nagano City, Japan. I often see these color monks when I hang around Zenkoji. They usually show up every hour or so. This particular monk was very colorful and quite friendly in appearance.

This was a watermelon found on the side of the street. I believe a cat or something got to it because the outer edges were quite broken and raw.

Summer is here and that means a round of Strawberry Kakigori for everyone! This photo depicts a banner that advertises Kakigori in Japan. They are like Slurpies with all sorts of flavors. If you visit Japan, be sure to take a moment and have one. They are just awesome during the hot and humid summer in Japan. Enjoy!

Nagoya was fantastic! I had a great time pounding the pavement taking some street shots and visiting some great sights. I highly recommend Nagoya has a great photography destinations. This fall I plan to go a couple of times for some model shoots and perhaps a photography meet. If anyone is interested in meeting up or attending a photoshoot, please contact me. Enjoy!

The fun challenge of Photography is shooting something unexpected. I thought this was an interesting shot of the holes in this leaf.

The tiles of Japanese homes are very interesting. This made for a cool texture I thought. Black and White really made the photo pop rather than color I thought.
