Site launch!
It’s about time – my identity and work as a photographer finally has a new online home. Welcome to hanayamaphoto.com! You may have noticed that I’ve adopted a new alias – Yujin Hanayama. My first name remains the same (albeit using the alternate, Japanese spelling), and the last name is derived from my wife’s maternal family name, Blumenberg. An English translation would be “Flower-mountain”, or Hana-yama in Japanese. My other career as Eugene Nakamura is that of a professional violinist, and the idea was to keep the two identities separate from each other.
I hope to update this blog section with insights about photography, and experiences I’ve had along my journey that I’d like to share with you.
