“My interest in Japan started with the Kung Fu movies I watched when I was a little kid, maybe 5 or 6 years old. Later on, I studied martial arts and then developed an even deeper interest through world history classes in school. I loved Japanese architecture, the history of the Samurai, and the way the people of that country carried themselves. I'd always wanted to visit but was afraid of flying, so I had to build up my nerve by taking short trips. Then this spring, I finally got a chance to go. I went with only $700 in my pocket, but I made it work. I stayed three months with a friend who lives in Makahari, and a couple of times a week I’d go in to Tokyo. There’s so much to see there. I also got a chance to visit Mt. Fuji and Nikko’s historic temples and shrines. The trip far exceeded my expectations.

“It’s one thing to see Japan in a movie, but to actually be there was amazing. I probably took 20,000 photographs. I’m working now on putting together a photo book of the moments that touched me on this trip, and I've started a Kickstarter campaign to fund it. I want people to see and feel the beauty I experienced there.”
