Mombetsu, Japan delegation Welcome Banquet - 2026

I had the honor of being selected by the City of Newport to photograph the welcome banquet for the Sister City Mombetsu, Japan delegation. The event brought together community leaders, guests, and visitors from both cities to celebrate the longstanding relationship between Newport and Mombetsu. It was a wonderful evening filled with connection, cultural exchange, and community spirit. Through photography, I was able to document the special moments, interactions, and atmosphere of the event while creating a collection of images that captured the significance of the occasion.
