Film and some digital. Tokyo, Kyoto, Fuji, Okayama, and a winter loop through the north. Not a guide.

  • These are from a few trips, not one big tour. Tokyo, Kyoto, Okayama, Fuji from the side streets, and a winter 2025/26 loop through Sendai, Aomori, Hakodate, Kanazawa, and Osaka. Shot on film (Leica M6, and whatever still worked after the M10 died in Tokyo) plus some digital. Blue Japan, the handmade zine, came out of noticing how much of the country came back blue.
