Where I’m at

2 men playing a boardgame in Nagasaki.

Maiko-san in Kyoto.

Petals in the Dutch quarter in Nagasaki.

Risa is a friend who volunteered to model for me after work one night.

Joe is a friend. Also a photographer and a model, these pics were to fill out his portfolio. And mine too.

The mighty Envy, one of my fave Tokyo bands finish their set at Shibuya Ax.

Performance artist Kate E Deeming approached me and video artists Richard Grehan to collaborate with her on a performance and eventual installation. More on that later.

Took this one of Darin & Jake at Tyer & Mihoko’s wedding.

I took Sarah & Keisuke’s wedding shots 2 years ago, I wanted to follow up with some anniversary shots. They are so happy.

Well, sorry Davey – I’m still being a bad blogger.

I thought I’d quickly squeeze in a visual diary of what I’ve been up to before my next shoot starts in about an hour…

These pics are a few highlights from my work life of recent weeks. I’m enjoying the change of lifestyle – nothing excites me more than to get behind the camera and shoot, or in front of my computer and edit, or to pick up one of the books donated by the awesome people who support me in my comical efforts to become a professional photographer! The latest one is from Tokyo’s very own Ms T – thank you darlin’ – your endless support is priceless.

Not enjoying the lack of money though, and I actually counted out my rent in ¥1000 notes a few days back Рall earned from English teaching.

I’m working on completely replacing my embarrassing photography website, using Lightroom galleries, and I’ll be putting the much-missed and endlessly requested return of the Manholes of Japan gallery there to draw in the page views.

In less than a week my besties Jackie & Adrian from Pendragon Shoes will be here, and they are shouting me a few days in Kyoto to celebrate. That’s from the 9th. Pretty exciting.

Gotta run now, the makeup artist has arrived….

Love youz all! Please remember to check my Flickr page for new work – it’s kinda updated more regularly than here. Also, I’ve been putting up my happy snaps at my facebook albums page. Go check them out.
