    —

    The latest issue of BRUTUS (578) covers photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto, which coincides with an upcoming retrospective at the Mori Art Museum, “Hiroshi Sugimoto: End of Time” (from September 17 until January 9). And for the first time, there are 2 pages in English that summarize every article in the Sugimoto package — let’s hope this…

  • PSP Vs. Gameboy Micro

    —

    A reader suggested this link (following my moblog pic from Thursday) of a pic he took today at Laforet in Harajuku comparing his PSP to the Gameboy Micro. I gotta say that the Micro looks bigger than what I was expecting.

    ,

    I don’t mention the monthly GGG exhibitions much because I automatically visit them (remember, I use this site as a reminder of things I want to see), but I should point out that September sees the “Graphic Wave 2005” show, which you’ll probably want to see. In September 2005 the Ginza Graphic Gallery will hold…
