Although a career educator who retired from the classroom in 1999, Errol Zimmerman has been a traveler and photographer since his military years in Asia during the Vietnam War. Pursuing his study of Asian history and the Japanese language, Zimmerman and his family lived in Japan for two years in the late 1970s/early 1980s as he worked with Japanese teachers, completed language study, and photographed Japanese cultural life. In more than 20 trips to Japan since his first visit in 1970, Zimmerman has traveled through all but two of Japan's 45 prefectures, has published his photographs in two prominent Japanese photographic journals (Camera Mainichi and Asahi Camera), and exhibited his photographs of Mexico in Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka for a 1990 exhibit sponsored by GIP Publishing and Canon.
