My photos are a constant source of examining the world around me. I have been using Canon ( CANON EOS 70D ) since living in Japan and the learning never stops. I travel back & forth to Japan and try to shoot both the mundane and the unusual aspects of life as I remembered & experienced it for 11 years (1980-90) as an English instructor and international sales manager living in TOKYO/ Shinagawa-ku. I appreciate my many friends here at Flickr and now know about true addiction...

"When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence."( Ansel Adams )
