Shinmaruko, Kanagawa

Shinmaruko, Kanagawa, a photo by moominsean on Flickr.

From the moment I arrived in Japan in August of 1961, I was totally fascinated by the lifestyle of the Japanese. I fell in love with the buildings, the streets, the lanterns, and of course, the people. I developed a love for Japan that will remain in my heart as long as I live. There are memories of friends I love that still warm my heart, mind and spirit. I felt at home in Japan; I admired the Japanese character and propriety, their respect and polite attitudes. In my mind, Japan remains a memory that I would have missed had I not spent three years in Kanagawa area.

yOUR WORK...has a soul with heartbeats. I truly admire your work and find it difficult to stop viewing your work once I begin. Thank you for sharing your most unique talent and creative art through photography. Editor

I am always amazed at how much Japan has changed in the last 50 years. The USA has changed too, but not nearly like Japan. Whereas Japan has built new buildings and made much progress in infrastructure, America has let its cities crumble and fall.

Whereas Japan has added more and more trains, America has cancelled train routes. Whereas the crime rate in the USA grows higher and higher, Japan is the safest nation on earth.

I truly admire the Japanese and Japan.

THE YOKOHAMA HARBOR IN 1962, Photo by Robert L. Huffstutter with a Petri 35mm.

Eventually, it is my desire to have an exhibition of my photographs and watercolors of Japan sponsored by a Japanese company.

Would like for the exhibition to be in Yokohama and last for several months. Naturally, it would be great if the trip was financed by the sponsoring company. I believe with the right promotions, it would attract several million in attendance over two months. This could be a lucrative opportunity for all involved.

This is one ship that has been anchored and then tied up to the pier for over 50 years. Looks like it is now maintained in top shape. Good to see it is still here
