Welcome to my blog!
For those who are first time visitors, I live in Japan. I love documenting my family and the wonderful people of Japan through pictures.
Please follow me on twitter and @reply me so that I know who you are :) Peace!
Anne has a second cousin, Tiffany, who lives just outside of Tokyo. Tiffany, her husband (Mike), and their two children came out for a visit. On our way home from lunch, we stopped by a neighborhood park and let the kids play. Here are a few snapshots I took of Mike and Tiffany at that park. I am committed this year to shoot as much as I can and take advantage of every opportunity. This afternoon was one of them.
Yesterday we explored Yokohama, the capital city of Kanagawa prefecture. Specifically, we went to Minato Mirai 21. This is Yokohama’s new city center. Japan’s tallest building, the Landmark Tower, is located in this area. The night scene was so spectacular! We can’t wait to go back in the near future and explore more of this beautiful place.

“In marriage, each partner is to be an encourager rather than a critic, a forgiver rather than a collector of hurts, an enabler rather than a reformer.” -H. Norman Wright and Gary J. Oliver
“He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.” -Proverbs 18:22
Simply put, Anne is the best thing that’s happened to me. Everyday, I wake up amazed that I get to spend it with a such an amazing woman! She is the embodiment of unconditional love. It has been twelve great years of committment, love, support and encouragement. And 2011 is a continuation of what I receive on a daily basis. I love you, Honey! Looking forward to a year of growth as we strengthen our marriage vows.
My first image of 2011 is the courtyard of the Lazona Kawasaki Plaza. This is a huge shopping area with over 300 shops! We had a New Year’s Day lunch at a buffet restaurant called The Oven. The Oven is easily one of my favorite buffet restaurants, in both Japan and America. Note the taiko drum performance at ground level.
