Night is another world. I love to explore at night when traveling. #sacredplace #travelgram #night #japan #wanderlust #kyoto #travel
Sometimes the tiniest things are the most interesting.

I love to visit places both during the day and at night. It always amazes me how different they are; the mood changes, the light is different, even the sounds are different. #night #travelgram #japan #instatravel #sacredplace #kyoto #temple #red
Rest house near Sanzenin temple in Kyoto. For this kind of shot I like to find a contrast between the straight dark lines of the trees and the random shapes and bright colors of the leaves. The most important thing I try to avoid is bright blank patches of sky showing through the trees. One bright spot can easily destroy the photo by drawing and dominating the viewer’s attention. There are just a couple tiny bright spots in this photo, but I think even from that, you can start to sense how strong they are. #fallcolors #travelgram #instatravel #japan #kyoto #wanderlust
No one travels Along this way but I, This autumn evening. - Matsuo Bashō Self portrait, by tripod, iPhone app to trigger the camera, 30 second exposure, hand held speedlite triggered multiple times. It helped that it was so late that there were no people, and absolutely no lights. It was fun and spooky at the same time. Good thing I always carry a flashlight. #travelgram #instatravel #japan #bamboo #night #haiku #selfie #alone
