My friend, Noriko, came and visited me this past December. She moved here from Japan several years ago, graduated from the U of M with her Masters and then got a job back in Japan. I was so happy to be able to spend a day with her. She’s getting into photography, so I decided to take her out to Fort Snelling Park to see what she was made of! I played around with her camera and she played around with mine. After looking at her photos, I promptly offered her a job as an assistant photographer. :) She actually knew how to use my camera intuitively and had a great eye, so I was jealous. :) I’ll show you a few that she took of Yours Truly at the end!



Noriko never smiles in photos, but I caught her unawares. :)





Thumbs up for photos of Photographers!



Noriko, I wish your stay was longer! But I’m so glad that we were able to spend time together. You’re a gifted photographer, so keep it up!!! Thank you for staying in touch and for bringing joy into my life.
xoxo,
Kassy :)
