Quick Trip

Elizabeth had a trip to Japan (Narita) the beginning of May and I tagged along!

I travel so infrequently that I am willing – in fact eager – to go almost anywhere, at almost any time... and for any length of time.

Case in point: This 24 hour layover in Narita.

Ok, full disclosure – I flew first class out and back... so that made a trip to Japan, with only one day on the ground, bearable. In fact, it made it enjoyable. A bed, good meals and a dozen movies I've been meaning to watch – it's not a bad way to spend ten hours.

In contrast, while I lounged Elizabeth worked!











After a short night in a small room we were off to explore the city. (this country wasn't designed for someone of Elizabeth's height!)














The town of Narita is about an hour, by train, from Tokyo. Narita has a large temple and grounds as well as a quaint, winding downtown area – both of which we explored. It felt as though we packed quite a bit into our brief visit.

Portland Gig

Up in Portland for a short, one day photo gig. Actually, only a 3 hour gig. Another photo booth for Nike, this time at a store called Aries Apparel – a women's sporting goods store that is a Nike reseller. Like the Boston Marathon photo booth, I created the background for this one as well. I was happy with how this backdrop came out.

Today I'm off to the Nike Employee's store before my evening flight. How to kill a rainy day in Portland? Might as well spend money seeking bargains on the Nike campus!
