Fuji Climbers
In the summer of 2015 three friends and I climbed Mt. Fuji, it being roughly an hour from our homes at the time.
The climb took seven hours up, and three hours down. At the top, as the sun was rising, I managed to capture the silhouettes of several others embarking upon the summit.

Dylan Fuji
Once I reached the top of Mt. Fuji, I took a selfie to celebrate.
The view from the highest point in Japan is remarkably beautiful in an already remarkably beautiful country.

Itsukushima Shrine
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this torii gate is located on Miyajima island, right outside Hiroshima, and serves as the entrance to Itsukushima Shrine. The shrine is as imposing as it is gorgeous, looming at over 50ft during low tide. During high tide, the pathways surrounding it are completely submerged.

Mishima Taisha
This temple was located in the town just next to where I lived at the time, a roughly 45 minute walk.
Particularly stunning during cherry blossom season, this temple is the highest ranking shrine of what was fomrerly known as the Izu Province (provinces were replaced by Prefectures during the Meiji restoration).

Rosenborg Castle
Rosenborg Castle, located in the heart of Copenhagen, Denmark was originally a summer home of the King of Denmark, Christian the IV.
My cousin and I were walking haphazardly around Copenhagen in September of 2016 when this catle appeared through the treeline. It is a stunning piece of architecture placed in the middle of a pristine park.

Downtown New York
New York can be stressful and cramped. But it can also be beautiful. You'll pretty regularly run into sights like this just transferring train lines. New York's beauty shines through particularly during fall and the weeks before Christmas.

NYC West Side
Living in New York can be almost overwhelming. It's hard to see the forest through the trees. It's particularly nice when you are greeted with the New York City skyline while going to a park on the Upper West Side.

Great Grandparents
This is a photo of my paternal great grandparents from some time in the early 1900s. My great grandfather, Ignatzie Goldberger was a WWI veteran. He was killed as a member of the Polish Resistance fighting against the German occupation in 1943.
My great grandmother was Genia Goldberger. She was taken in 1942, spurring Ignatzie to fight in the resistance.

Schindler's List
I took this photo in the Holocaust museum in Jerusalem. If you look at lines 542 and 548, you will see my grandfather's and great uncle's names respectively. Our last name was changed from Goldberger to Lesniak after the war to aid in escaping the U.S.S.R.

Bachelor Party
When my best friend got married, all he asked for his bachelor party was a cabin to hang out with his friends. We ate steak, drank scotch, and watched Anime. Perfect weekend.

Pens by Candlelight
I have been obsessed with fountain pens since my father bought me my first one in university.
I'm particularly fond of this ink, pen, and nib (the tip of the pen) combo.
The pen used in this picture (bottom) is a Noodler's Ahab with a Fountainpen Revolution (FPR) Ultra Flex #6 nib filled with Organic Studio's Nitrogen ink.
I could go on for hours and hours and not even scratch the surface of this subject.
