The SOW experience is the gift of participation. In Kyoto we dressed up in traditional Japanese garment, toured by rickshaw, and had our photos taken inside a classical Japanese home.

As exhausted as we were, the campfire scene was an opportunity to cook up a meal. The strong winds made it difficult to get the fire started. But once the wood burned, Steven mustered up the strength to snap the final scenes of the day. He submitted those final images to a calendar competition.
