Earthling Photography

Neat stuff. Quite the world traveler. Is that because of your job or do you just get around.

My oldest brother does a lot of traveling because of his job. He's been to Japan several times including when the tsunami/earthquake hit which was scary as hell because we couldn't get a hold of him. But it's really neat to hear his Japan stories. And he bring me back Meiji chocolate. I'm not much of a chocolate fan but Meiji chocolate is beyond awesome.

Both because of work and I love to travel with a passion!

Japan is great, I love the country but especially the people, a few very close to me there.

Meiji chocolate is one of the things I love picking up at convenience stores there.

One of the most beautiful cities with the most beautiful people in the US, Denver.

From one of the events in Chiba, the AOU amusement expo. One of the video game vendors cornered the market on pretty face that day, hehehe.

Back to the Middle East... or Southwest Asia, whichever you prefer.

One of the coolest events I've been to, from a photography standpoint, is the CP+ photography expo in Yokohama. It wasn't only about camera companies showing and selling off their products, they also offered interactive activities and exhibits to encourage the inexperienced, and even the experienced photographer to get the camera shutter going (and hence encourage the selling of their products).

Moehaku was like Car-mi-con. Or some other term defining a mashup between anime/manga and cars. Whatever it is, it made for some great visuals.

Tokyo Motorcycle Show. Lots of models. And lots of motorcycles as well!

Here's photos from the only time I attended the Tokyo International Anime Fair in 2010. Not a fan of anime myself, I just happened to tag along on this occasion and it was a great occasion for photos.

On my way to an Iraq deployment a few years ago I had the ultimate layover highlighted by my first experience with German beer, and German women! And to add to good fortune, the flight out of Germany was delayed overnight!

Taken at Leipzig, Germany in May 2011 using a Nikon D3000.

Here's some shots from the US countryside of West Virginia, at Hyperfest.

Sometimes you don't even need to leave the airport to find great photo ops. Frankfurt, Germany was one example... and Incheon International Airport in South Korea is an even greater one.

Some photos from the first cosplay event I attended as a photog, the Yokohama Cosplay Expo. At this point I still hadn't made the transition to DSLR.

More of the friendly faces in uniform. Having a photographer (me) during training brings out smiles and enthusiasm you probably wouldn't see otherwise.
