    Even though Lil is no longer in Tokyo, she’s still going through her photo archives and posting Japan-related pics to her Flickr account. Today saw this one, of the Shinjuku Washington Hotel, as well as this shot of various Shinjuku high-rises.

    I haven’t talked about it here yet, but I recently was put in charge of organizing the gallery space at Cafe Pause. As manager of Gallery Pause, I’m in charge of dealing with artists, and accepting or rejecting requests for shows (as well as helping with the setup). I was waiting to put up some…

    I’ve already shared with you my love for Naoki Honjo’s photography, and I’m also in love with his new book that was just released through Little More, SMALL PLANET (English page with no link to order). It’s a nice little publication filled with that diorama-like photography I just can’t get enough of — and I’m…

    A friend of mine found this picture on Mixi, taken at Cafe Pause, which just happens to have me on the right hand side. The funny thing is that I know it was taken Monday (I was there the entire day), but I don’t remember anyone taking a picture from that spot. Weird. Update (16/09/24):…

    I’m fascinated by the new article on PingMag that covers the making of HDR (High Dynamic Range) images. I absolutely love the resulting shots. Update: A reader points out this Flickr group devoted to HDR photography in Japan.

    When I’ve written stories for various publications, I’ve sometimes been asked if I knew of any Tokyo-based professional photographers that they could use for the pieces. I’m afraid that up to know I usually don’t have any good suggestions to make, and so I figured I’d make a call-out. I’m not promising any jobs or…

    On Saturday I was out in Aoyama, and this time, was accompanied by Yuko. We started out by visiting our friend Nao’s show at Gallery Omotesando, “3+5+6+8,” on the last day it was being held. Following that we went to, ahem, Royal Host, because Yuko was in the mood for a parfait. Hey, if it’s…

    I went to see Nao Suzuki‘s photography show today, “3+5+6+8,” at Gallery Omotesando (ended today). There are a few more pics on my Flickr account. I love the way she arranged the pictures.
