Awright, some things have changed in my life and my eclectic photostream may not make sense to a lot of folks so I'll explain... No, there is no time to explain. Let me sum up. I am originally from California, but I didn't really get into photography until I moved to Japan in 2009 to take up a job teaching English at a university near Kobe / Osaka. I spent a lot of time traveling and taking photos while lived there, as well as on some of my summer trips back to the US. I switched to a different university in 2015, and the schedule change resulted in a little less time for photograph--BUT around this time I started to focus more on animals. In 2019, for family reasons, I moved back to the US. I wasn't able to spend as much time on photograph as I liked for various reasons, but now that my routine has become a little more scheduled and predictable I'm hoping to get out and start shooting more. I mostly shoot Fuji and Canon, but my first cameras back in my high school days were my Dad's Minolta and Pentax film SLRs.
