Kegon Falls 華厳の滝

Kegon Falls, Nikko, Tochigi, Japan. At the heart of winter.

Frozen

Looking like a Black metal album cover.

Deep.

Mount Japan. Because Fuji.

Middle-of-nowhere Japan

Hung over, I went out shooting with one of my oldest friends and one of my newest friends in Japan. We had no fancy landmarks, no special events, and nothing really noteworthy for kilometers around us... Which is the best place in Japan to be.

Sunset and the mountan 「富士山日没」

I really need to post here more. To make up for it, here's a nice picture that says "JAPAN!" all over it.

Kitamoto Nights #RealJapan

When I meet people, even people from Saitama, and tell them I live in Kitamoto, more often than not, I get asked where (the hell)  that is....

Which means we chose the perfect place to move to.

Noodles before they were noodles #RandomJapan

The Kitamoto/Kounosu area of Saitama Prefecture is famous for it's udon... Now I know why.

Mister Fuji #JapanScapes

Those of you who follow me on instagram have seen a pic not unlike this one. That was straight out of camera though and when viewed larger than instagram, it didn't look so good. But a took a few RAWs and when massaged a bit in lightroom, this one stood out above all the rest.

FLIGHT #RandomJapan

I had to fly from Tokyo to Nagasaki for work. I had a bunch of footage that I didn't want to just throw away, so I stuck it together with Manny Marx' epic tune, "Broken Winged Pigeon" and made this random Japan phonesnap.

Nagano in HDR

When I was in Nagano at the beginning of last month I fired off some brackets. 

Here are some of the Resulting HDR images:

shots #124 Nagano is Beautiful

I've been dealing with views like this for the past few days. I know. Terrible.

I'm in Nagano again... And the cherry blossoms are still in bloom.

View from the Kitty park in Chikuma, Nagano earlier today.
For all it's skyscrapers, trains, money and sheeple, Tokyo has nothing that can compare to this.

Woot, I'm in Nagano.

In The Cat's hometown shooting for a video project thats due in September. It's good to be away from Tokyo till the morrow, but I wish the cat were here... probably not as much as she wishes she was home though...

Okinawa Scapes ~5 hit combo~

Thanks for all the comments on the Japan, How It Is - Driving Around Okinawa vid. I basically covered everything I wanted to say about it in the vid...

Besides, words cannot describe the beauty of  Okinawa.
