Matsushima: The Jade of Tohoku

My name is Janiel Hazle, a 29 year old Jamaican by birth and a nomad at heart now residing in Japan. I absolutely love traveling, seeing sights, meeting people, learning about cultures and debunking stereotypes. I am constantly bombarded with the question of why I roam so much, but it's pretty simple, I am not a plant, I don't have roots, I have feet and they were made for walking and that's just what they will do.

I love capturing the world as I see it and sharing it with others. I have a passion for capturing a powerful moment and showing things as they are at a particular time, somewhat freezing a moment forever. I am very passionate about capturing moments and truth be told I don't own any fancy gadgets or know the math behind the different lenses, but I do know that I am passionate about photography and would love to get the opportunity to hone the skill and develop my passion with guidance from one of the very best in the field of photography. With this guidance I can create more powerful images that will not just appeal to the eyes of everyone I share my experiences and creativity with but touch their very heart and communicate with them without even using a single word.
