The Great Hanshin Earthquake occurred on January 17, 1995, at 05:46:53 JST in the southern part of Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, including the region known as Hanshin.
I was on a ferry boat to Hokkaido when the announcement came over the PA system that there had been a big quake near Kobe.
Kimura-san’s studio was near Koshien Stadium and you can see by the map how close that was.
We were in Hokkaido for 3 weeks before I got back to the studio and could visit the effected areas and get these photos.

Oh so much fun! Finally the the new train line is open!
Here are some photos and a video from the ride:

As seen from New Jersey. Here is a watercolor style treatment of my own dusk photo from the 90’s.

Not many skylines were as recognizable as New York’s with those twin towers, simply unmistakable.

I have a few more scenes from this side of Manhattan, and a few from the other side, mostly dusk. Some of them are medium format, and some are 4×5 inch. This was back when I shot a lot of 4×5 inch film.

I mostly used Kodak Ektachrome, and Fuji Velvia or Provia.

I almost missed this chance. I was driving away from a shoot and happened to glance left at a clearing in the trees and what do I see?
This graceful beast just standing there like it owned the place… which we know it does.
I was treated to many poses, and even a brief sit-down, but I guess I overstayed my welcome and in a few minutes the show was over and the coyote slipped into the autumn background.
What a beautiful creature.
