(Disclaimer: This is NOT new information. I know many people choose to travel with only this lens, so this isn't exactly unique to me. But I wanted to try my hand at explaining why and maybe convince some of you to give it a try!) One of the hardest parts of traveling is figuring…
I love taking pictures of streets, always have. I even have an older blog post where I put together a bunch of pictures of streets from some of my various travels. (You can read that here.) But it's no secret that Japan is known for little magical alleys and streets. So here are just some…
