Around My Hood

A beautiful fall day on my bike with my camera makes just about the perfect weekend afternoon. Inspired by the look produced by my beloved Holga, here are a few scenes from my neighborhood during one of the most wonderful times of the year.

Faces and Places: Beijing, China

Just back from wonderful, colorful Beijing...a place where Communist kitsch, carved Buddhas, and knock-off Louis Vuittons compete for tourist-attention among temples, bustling parks and markets, and hundreds of quaint, historic hutongs (neighborhoods made up of courtyard houses and thousands of lively alleyways).

Every region of China can be sampled in the country's capital, but Beijing definitely has a vibe and a spice that can't be found anywhere else on earth...

Wedding: Rob and Minami

Another beautiful intercultural wedding here in Japan between a super cool Australian, and his amazing Japanese wife!  All the best, Rob and Minami!  おめでとう！
