From October 1–17, I traveled extensively throughout Japan, photographing cultures, landscapes, and urban cityscapes. My travels took me from the urban megalopolis of Tokyo, to the northernmost island of Hokkaido, to the shrines and temples of Kyoto, to a secluded island on the Inland Sea, and finally to the home of several families of Japanese snow monkeys in the Japan Alps.
Look for a new gallery featuring photographs from my many amazing adventures in Japan, coming very soon.

My photo above, taken on a rainy day at Union Square, San Francisco last December is going to be published in the September 2009 issue of National Geographic.
Every weekday, National Geographic editor Susan Welchman selects 12 photos in the Your Shot contest for possible inclusion in the monthly print of the magazine. The highest voted photo for that month then gets published. My photo was voted as the audience favorite for the month of March. Exciting news!
