Better late than never

I was reminded recently at a dinner about another dinner some time ago that was a milestone for a couple friends of mine who will reach another one shortly. Almost a year late, but better late than never.

Seoul 2014: Last day

Well, I didn't do well this time around in terms of photos, but I had a good time. Distractions can be distracting.

Japan 2014: Last day

Definitely didn't have a very good photo trip this time around. Not enough time, not the right mindset. I hope I get some better results next year.


20141001-_DSC2771
Of course it rains on my last day
