My freshman year of high school I decided I would travel to Japan as a senior year trip to myself. The scenery was beautiful, the experience was like no other, and although I was an alien in this foreign land, it felt like a second home. For the first part of the trip I explored temples and shrines, even making my way up to Kyoto to visit the bamboo forest. I wanted to capture the feeling of the country side as well as the serenity of the area's I visited.
