Awesome work! Looks great! I'm going to have to take out my lesser camera attached to my far less skills at photography and at least try to show something of my MUCH SMALLER slice of the world here in Oki (JP-not the state). Great work as always. Please post more!

Brandon,
It is always such a joy for me to see the work you do, the places you've gone, and the way you present your life to others. What fantastic photos. Keep the blogging going.
