“京の着倒れ、大阪の食い倒れ” meaning “Dress (in kimonos) till you drop in Kyoto, eat till you drop in Osaka.” After 9 days of traveling to Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo with excessive eating & playing in Japan,  I am back!!!  Now I need to put my life back on track and work hard. Ok, I like Osaka, especially loving the food, however I absolutely love Kyoto more. You can see the Edo time style architectures in every corner of the streets, and smell the fragrance of mysterious geisha beauties walking by. The journey wouldn’t be complete without sipping a cup of uji green tea while watching the world passed by.

All photos were taken by my Nikon D40 18-200 lense or the Panasonic Lumix Point & Shoot.

Here is the collection of snapshots I’ve taken during this trip and I’ve made a slideshow video of them. Enjoy!

For those who maybe visiting Osaka, MUST GO eat the Truly the best cheese/sponge cake i’ve ever eaten in my life time. MUST google this place (難波 Namba – Rikuro’s Cheese Cake)

Here is a video of where to find it and a video of me eating it LOL!

I can’t stand watching myself, i sound so dumb! Hahahahaha! Sorry canto only hahaha~

Today is the last day of 2009, we believe that 2010 will be a better year with more growth in many areas of our lives. As we looked back on how the Lord has blessed us with many new doors in our lives and new friends we made and old friends have been reconnected during this starting up process,  Jesus has always been there to guide us through. We want to take this time to express our gratitude to our Lord Jesus Christ.

    I wish you both much success in this coming New Year. You are both very talented, down to earth, fun, and loving people. Your images are more than pictures, they are works of art. Love, Crystal Knoth

As the year end of 2009 approaching, we would like to take this time to thank everyone’s support and trust our works. 2009 has been an amazing year since Jeremy and I started our 1st official photo session on April 25th (yup, that was on my birthday), the Lord has been blessing us with many new opportunities to walk on this wonderful journey of being a husband and wife team photographers. We’ve witnessed many heartfelt moments thru out these eight months working with you: from your parents shedding joyful tears during tea ceremonies, your first kiss as husband and wife after exchanging vows; the intimate images from your e-sessions and the beautiful documentation of you being first-time Mom; these sweet memories working with each of you make us motivated and energized in what we do.

Of all the amazing photos from others being published on the internet every minute, you chose to stop by our humble Facebook albums and click on “like” button, and wrote comments on our wall and left all the kind words on our Flickr photostream, your support means so much to us. Therefore, we want to thank you with all of our hearts and to tell you how grateful we feel for having you all in our lives.

We would like to use this time to appreciate our customers, friends, fans and readers. For EVERY comment you will leave on our site  until 12/31/09 5:00 P.M. USA California time, we, JeZa Photo will donate $1 to World Vision’s Global Food Crisis Fund.  We’ll post our donation receipt on 1/3/2010.  We sincerely wish that you will have a wonderful and fantastic year of 2010. XOXOXOXO! Thank you for visiting!
