Series: Japan 2008-2018 Retrospective
This is a series of articles featuring photographs taken across several trips to Japan spanning 2008-2018.
Dallas 2007
My most recent trip to the USA is to Dallas in 2007 to attend conference. For some reason I bought my camera with me, primarily because I remember all the episodes of Dallas my mum watched in the 1970s.
Chicago from the Air
These images were taken from window seat of an aircraft descending into Chicago using one of the earliest digital cameras, the Kodak DC220 with a 1.2 megapixel resolution.

We rented a Mustang and took it to Mulholland Drive in Hollywood Hills, ending overlooking Hollywood Bowl.
Empire State Building (New York

New York, NY

Niagara Falls
A famous tourist attraction and spectacular sight, Niagara Falls are actually a group of falls straddling the border between the USA and Canada.
National Mall
As tourists, we visited the National Mall at Washington, DC, in 1997. Recent events have of course heightened security here, so these photographs are a homage to a more innocent decade.
Winchester House
For years, I have mentioned the Winchester House in my talks and presentations, as an analogy of what happens when an organisation does not have a cohesive strategy, so of course I have visited the actual house many times.
