Photography is my passion and my primary source of income. I'm also passionate about haiku, have done many translations of classical Japanese haiku, and have published some articles on the short poems. I sometimes write my own too.
I also enjoy reading about the history of Japan, exploring the countryside by bike, and amazing the locals with my love of natto.

Okazaki Japan, where I have lived for many years. I am originally from Muncie Indiana, where I visit at least once a year and may someday return to.
Interestingly, although Muncie and Okazaki are both small, they are both somewhat famous and well-known, Okazaki for being the birthplace of Tokugawa Ieyasu (the once and future leader of Japan) and Muncie for being considered the average American city, a series of sociological studies over the years based on this idea, and a generic small-town city name used in Hollywood.
