From the US, I first came to Japan on a study abroad program and didn’t want to leave. I came back as soon as I could to live, first to the quiet mountains of Nagano and then to the busy and exciting Tokyo. My goal is to travel to all of the 47 prefectures and share each of the local specialties and treasures through my photography. I hope to inspire people to want to see and experience the sights, culture and food for themselves.
