Japan
I spent about 18 months in Japan. I found a lot to like there. Japan was where I really first started taking pictures with my 10 year old digital camera. Ive come to realize one of the few important valuable things to me are pictures. Pictures capture so much: places ive been, people ive met and things ive done. Things that I would have easily forgot in a matter of weeks, months or years if it wasnt for the aid of my camera.
