Nothing beats a ship pulling back into its home port. I was glad to be able to capture this homecoming for this special couple. Along the way I was also able to snag a few photos of some other families. Next up, GW. The base is starting to feel more alive once again. Click for bigger pictures.

We took a little trip up to Yokohama’s Sankeien Garden for this photo session. I showed up early and it paid off. One of the local guides, and also a photographer, gave me a personal tour of the garden. He pointed out the best photo spots along the way. What he also told me is that on November 22 extra parts of the park open up so people can further enjoy the FALL FOLIAGE that will soon be here! I can’t wait.
