A junior high school sports day festival.
My favorite images from the event can be found here. |
|
|
During the sports day festival, teachers would ask me, "Do you have a sports day festival in America?"
To tell you the truth, I really can't remember. I don't think there were any days devoted to sports activities and physical health with an emphasis on teamwork and unity. No, just that awful presidential physical fitness challenge.
Situps, chinups, the mile. Those were some rough times. |

After nearly 2 years living in Japan, I held a photo exhibition with works from all over the world in a gallery in Yamamoto Town, Mitoyo. The title of the exhibition was, "Environments," and focused on places that people live, play, and exist. More info can be found by clicking the photo. Thanks to the numerous people that helped with the planning, setup, catering, takedown, promoting in shops, newspapers, and magazines, and thank you to all the people that attended the show. It was a great success with many pieces purchased and new projects in the works. |
