Junta Portrait

This is a photo of Junta that I took a while back.  He is Japanese and the son of a friend.  He was born special, but he is one of the happiest children you will ever meet.

I took this photo while we were out in Yokohama at a stage festival.

Cherry Blossom in Yokohama, Japan

This photo is one of my Favorites.  I was due to leave Japan after living there for 8 years.  I woke up one day and realized that I had not really taken a picture of a scene or place in Japan.  I needed something to remember it by.  I knew I would regret it later if I never got a chance to return.

I chose a location that we frequented a lot for the photo.  That place was Negishi Park in Yokohama.  We took our dogs there for walks a lot, and my son played at the park there almost daily.  I took many shots that day, and this is the one that I really loved.

My wife looks at it every now and then when she gets homesick.
