I’ve struggled with the best way to present my photos of Japan. I used my iPhone to document the places I went and people I observed along the way. My goal was to create a picture of Japan today. In a way, this post is like the slide show I would have shown family and friends. As much as I’ve tried to keep the number of photos down, I wasn’t successful. So get out the popcorn and enjoy the show! Click on any photo to scroll through the gallery.

I shot these photos over the course of eight days while trekking the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage in March with a group from Walk Japan. The trail was rigorous but well worth the sweat. Click on any photo to scroll through the gallery.
