Cape Maeda in one of the most popular diving and snorkeling locations on Okinawa. Countless people have made the walk, and not too long ago before the stairs were put in, the climb down to the blue-green, crystal clear waters to dive and/or snorkel.

Documenting the Journey
One of the many photography lessons we learn as we age, is the importance of simply documenting your surroundings. Documenting everything enables us to better appreciate the immense changes in our world that are subtle, and seemingly unimportant as we live them, yet can be profound when viewed ten, twenty, or more years later. In the 80's and 90's, during my first stay in Japan, I took many casual environment photos that later seemed unimportant to me. Sadly, I threw most of them out. Now however, I appreciate the value of even the most mundane. What once was trivial and uninteresting, is now fascinating. Your life is a journey, document it.
Streets of Okinawa with the Fuji x100T
A couple weeks ago I bit the bullet and decided to upgrade my Fuji x100s to the new x100T. As luck would have it I've been busy and haven't really had time to put it though it's paces until this past weekend. My daughter Summer had a modeling job for Ryubu, an upscale department store here in Okinawa, and I had some time on my hands, so off I went to wander the streets of Naha. :)

Okinawa Shopkeepers
Okinawa is very much like a small town, complete with a multitude of small shops, cafes and one-man farmer's markets. The people who work in them are often elderly and generally friendly. I often empathize with what must be long, mostly uneventful days spent patiently waiting for the few customers who actually buy something rather than just gawk and take photos. :)
