Tokyo: Where Futuristic Skyscrapers Meet Ancient Temples

Troy Brathwaite June 20, 2024

TOKYO, JAPAN

Your adventure begins as you touch down at Narita International Airport (NRT) or the more convenient Haneda International Airport (HND). From there, dive into the bustling metropolis that is Tokyo. Explore the west side of Tokyo, where neon-lit streets intersect with cutting-edge architecture. Visit the iconic Tokyo Tower, offering panoramic views of the city. Dive into the Shibuya Crossing chaos and marvel at the futuristic Ginza district. Shift gears to the east side of Tokyo. Wander through the historic Asakusa district, home to the magnificent Senso-ji Temple. Stroll along Nakamise Street, where traditional shops beckon with souvenirs and street food.

KYOTO, JAPAN

Hop on the Shinkansen (bullet train) from Tokyo to Kyoto—a journey of around 2.5 hours. Arriving in Kyoto, you’ll feel the shift from urban buzz to serene elegance. Immerse yourself in Kyoto’s soul. Explore the temple-packed Southern Higashiyama area. Marvel at the vermilion gates of Fushimi Inari Shrine and lose yourself in the narrow stone-paved streets. Head west to Arashiyama, where the famous Bamboo Grove stands tall. Cross the iconic Togetsukyo Bridge and discover the tranquil Tenryu-ji Temple and its exquisite gardens.

Photographers' Imposter Syndrome
October 10, 2025

Let’s be honest—calling yourself a photographer isn’t as simple as it sounds. You pick up a camera, start shooting, and at first, it’s pure curiosity. Then somewhere along the way, you start comparing. You see other people’s work—their crisp edits, their perfect lighting, their high-end gear—and suddenly, you’re questioning if you even belong in the same conversation.

That’s imposter syndrome. It’s that quiet, persistent voice that says maybe you’re not really a photographer, just someone who happens to own a camera.

December 18, 2024

Christmas Abroad
January 12, 2024

It's the holiday season of Christmas and New Year's, and along with my wife and son, we flew from New York to the magical cities of London and Paris. We spent our days exploring all that London had to offer - from visiting historical landmarks like Big Ben and the London Tower, to indulging in delightful shopping sprees at famous department stores like Harrods. Of course, it wouldn't be a true London experience without donning our raincoats and embracing those traditional rainy days!
