Japan 

Ever since I was a child I dreamt of Japan… perhaps sparked by my training in Japanese martial arts, but there was more… finally, in 2013 it was time for my first trip to Japan, and I have been going there every year since (except for those dreaded years 2020-2022 where we couldn’t)…

A land, by its very nature, culture and history is kind of conducive to meditative photography. This became especially clear to me when I went there in 2023 not for training and vacation as we usually do, but to do the Shikoku 88 temples O-Henro pilgrimage. What an experience…  five intense weeks of connection… a feeling of oneness…
