Joshua McChesney
I'm Joshua McChesney. I grew up in Indiana and moved to Florida with my wife in 2005. For many years I neglected the power of documenting life with a camera, and I'm learning to make up for it by capturing as best I can the magic of the world around me.
My interest in Japan started long ago in college, staying up for Midnight Run, Cartoon Network's late-night anime block, watching shows like Gundam Wing and Cowboy Bebop, and taking a couple of Japanese history classes. That curiosity eventually led me to the cedar-lined paths of Nikko and the temple streets of Shuzenji.
Photographing people and places can unlock the magic or mystery of a moment, the part that would evaporate into the ether if left uncaptured. For me, photography is the search to recall not just the look of a person or place, but the fleeting moment when I saw it, or felt it.
