About

Hello and welcome! I am a budding photographer living in Nagoya, Japan. It took me a long time to realize that I have always wanted to pursue artistic expression through photography. Thankfully, retirement has allowed me to realize my passion.  I thank you for viewing my photos!

Images of Japan

Motion Blur

Collection of images of Japan's Nozomi Shinkansen, or Bullet Train, photographed mainly using motion blur to express the train's speed.

The Sky

This is a collection of photographs of the sky. Be it early morning skies, evening skies, or daylight skies, the sky never ceases to amaze me. It is a natural artist, constantly showing us its amazing wonders. My desire is to record and share with others what I call "gifts of nature" that the sky shares with me.

Flowers

flowers intrigue me - their colors, their smells the way they play with light the way they move to and fro, dancing with the air that surrounds them that said, since I have been photographing flowers closeup, I have realized there is a whole world within that probably goes unnoticed more often than not it is the macro world of the flower there are spiders, hiding in the shadows to escape the summer heat spider webs run for one petal to another there are ants busily investigating the ins and outs of each flower water droplets can be found dotting the flower's petals early in the morning ... and so on, and so on ... I hope to be able to share some of my photographic experience here in this collection, as my personal collection of flower images grows.
