In "The Journey from Kamakura" readers are swept along on travel photographer Grey Matheson's quest to find the most dazzling sights and exotic experiences the world has to offer. In his drive to the peak of his profession, Matheson is sabotaged by self-destructive tendencies that not only shatter his marriage but send him on a roller coaster ride that challenges his will to survive. Roaming the globe in an ever-accelerating thirst for satisfaction, he discovers that great photographs come at a price, from all but drowning in the riptides off Puerto Vallarta to being buried by a Tibetan avalanche. Despite a cycle that takes him from begging on the streets of Amsterdam to blowing through a million dollars in a matter of months, it's only when he comes face to face with a mysterious woman in Southeast Asia that his true journey begins, leading to perceptions no photograph could ever portray.
