Born & raised in Brooklyn, NY. I moved to the SF Bay area in 1978. Prior to leaving NYC, I worked as a portrait photographer.

I met Hiroko in 1983 & we married in 84. In 2018, we retired & moved to Costa Rica. In 2024, we moved to Atami, Japan.

Way up in the mountains in the tiny town of Gero. It's one of the most famous and historic onsen towns in Japan. It's a place to relax, eat, drink, and soak in the mineral springs baths.

When you live in Japan and don't feel like cooking dinner, going to a local izakaya restaurant is a great option. Depicted is the free appetizer provided.

Going to a baseball game at Wrigley Field in Chicago was on my 'bucket list' for a long time. The Cubs beat the Cardinals that day in 2017.

Eventually, this will become a bonsai grove. I started these tangerine tree seedlings from seeds.

Our town is known for dried fish. The ones depicted are Agi, taken from Sagami Bay, outside Atami harbor and being dried on the street in front of a local fish store.
