These photos were taken during a 2-1/2 week trip to Japan with my wife, our son, and his family. I selected the images in this portfolio based on photographic and aesthetic interest.

The trip was made special because my wife still has distant relatives there (her grandparents emmigrated from Japan in the early 20th century) and our daughter-in-law, who was born and raised in Japan, has friends and is fluent in the language. Our travels took us to Osaka, Okayama, Kyoto, Kobe, and Tokyo. If you would like to see a more "touristy" account of the trip, please visit my

Technical Note:
