Beacon 1

Osaka | Japan This is the Hōzenji Temple in Osaka. I have a few more lantern shots across Japan but these are some of my favorites. The textures of the construction of the various lanterns I find intriguing and fun to shoot.

Remebrance

Brooklyn Bridge Park | Brooklyn, NY The Tribute In Light is such an iconic part of the 9/11 Memorial. It shines bright like a beacon in the night. As the ceremonies kick off early morning, emotion fills the air as the city and country look back on the historic event. Let us honor those we have lost and take time to reflect. Never Forget.

Evening Stroll

Hōkan-ji Temple | Kyoto, Japan The Higashiyama district of Kyoto is a magical place. It's the perfect area to stay in and casual wandering of the streets at night afford you the opportunity to discover all sorts of temples and shrines. I wish I'd come back to take this shot during the day time but your agenda gets pretty packed when you're in Kyoto.

Endless Gateway to the Sea

Waimea Pier | Kauai, HI Nights in Kauai are quiet and the skies are dark. Looking out on the ocean towards the end of the pier, it really seems to go on and on.

Neon Labryinth 2

Golden Gai | Tokyo, Japan We happened to be in Tokyo during the Rugby World Cup and the city was obviously buzzing. Drinking and celebrating was in full force around the Golden Gai area. We crammed ourselves into one or two bars but drifting through the maze of alleyways was an experience itself.

Skeleton

Manhattan Bridge | Brooklyn, NY It's always fun to explore the different angles and details of the Manhattan Bridge. With a little bit of fog and the city lights fighting their way through this was a fun one to work on.

Bed of Clouds

Mount Fuji Summit | Mount Fuji, Japan It was at the very end of the official climbing season, but Mt Fuji was an absolute must for me. I decided to take a slightly different approach and climb up the Fujinomiya Trail and down the popular Yoshida Trail. I made it to the summit before sunset. Looking out above the clouds as it starts to get darker, it's such a peaceful setting after a long day's hike.

Neon Lady

Shinjuku | Tokyo, Japan One of the more impressive neon signs in Shinjuku I came across. Was supposed to be taking a picture of my wife snuck a few additional shots in!

Smoky Mountain Stars

Smoky Mountains | Gatlinburg, TN This is my first ever Milk Way shot! The Tennessee Mountains were a great place to do it as well, away from the city lights and surrounded by Mother Nature. You research and research, and take test shot after test shot to get the right settings. Then you move to processing and when you see the galaxy core come through it's incredibly exciting!

Crossroads

Shijo-dori | Kyoto, Japan I don't photo carlight trails enough and I wish I did! We were wandering around a nearby temple and came upon this intersection. I'd taken my fair share of temple pictures at this point and needed something new. It proved to be a great exercise in practicing night shooting for me and managed to capture a few interesting shots in the process.

Neon Towers 2

Shinjuku | Tokyo, Japan More fun from Shinjuku. All the neon lights and bustling crowds give Times Square a run for its money.

East River Shimmer

Brooklyn Bridge Park | Brooklyn, NY Having lived in Brooklyn now for some time, I'm a little biased but looking at downtown Manhattan from this side of the river is fantastic. With the lights burning bright, it's not hard to see why it's called The City That Never Sleeps.
