My wife and I went out to American Village and decided it would be fun to test out my new 50mm 1.8d lens that she got me for Christmas.

American Village is a popular hangout area for Americans and locals. It is centrally located around Kadena Air Base, Camp Lester, and Camp Foster in Okinawa, Japan. Generally, any day of the week you can find some type of performer doing their thing!

My wife even decided that she wanted to take a couple shots with the new lens. You can check out some of the shots below.

I live right around the corner from American Village which is located in Chatan, Okinawa and realized I did not have any pictures of the beautiful Sunset Beach.

Here you go…
