My late father was an award-winning photographer. Although he made a living in video production during his prime years, in his retirement he taught photography in community classes until the very last days. When I was 20 I first got interested in photography myself, which is when he taught me how to use his old Nikon F black body. Since then I have always enjoyed the art of photography and recently have been getting a bit more serious about it. All the images on this site are my work, and here are some more I would like to share. ©All rights reserved / Izumi Tanaka, 2007
