Happy New Year and my best wishes for a prosperous and fulfilling 2019!  I couldn’t enjoy traveling around and partaking in photography adventures all over Japan without my many wonderful clients, friends, and team, and I am very thankful for your continued support into next year.

At the end of the year, I take stock of the experiences and photo tours in Japan that were the most memorable and had made the most impact on us.  Next year being the Year of Boar is not lost on us, and as we reflect on the amazing wildlife that we can photograph on Hokkaido Photography Tours, Whooper Swans, Sika Deer, White-tail Eagle, the Red-tail Fox, Steller's Sea Eagle, and the myriad others.  
Then I start looking forward to the sakura that blossom every spring and add their fleeting beauty to our lives as something I and my colleagues look forward to at the beginning of every year once winter relents.  Mt. Fuji always makes its way into our memories.  2018 was a spectacular year for visiting Mt. Fuji, and we are looking forward to discovering new perspectives for Japan’s iconic peak into 2019.  

New Year’s also means it’s time to think about resolutions.  At Blain Harasymiw Photography we are always thinking about what we can do to improve ourselves and our Japan Photo Tour itineraries, specifically introducing as many people as possible to the beauty of Japan, while keeping our groups small so you are sure to capture your once in a lifetime photos with us.  We resolve to provide you an experience that will always treasure in 2019, so why not make your New Year’s Resolution to join us on a photo adventure and see Japan as you never have before?
