Santa of Nazareth

2008.12.14

A few years ago, before I ever came to Tokyo a friend of mine (who, as an aside is now quite well known in Bollywood…..another story entirely;-), told me that a friend of a friend had once seen a window display in a Tokyo department store that was, to say the least, odd.
The Japanese, for the most part not being Christians, had gotten the Christmas story a little mixed up, and had built a display of a crucified Santa Claus.

The greatest person I have ever called ‘friend’.

I remember the day I met him, I remember the exact location to within a few feet, I can see it now in my mind like it was yesterday.

The Global Gender Gap

(Gratutitous thigh shot, because hey its ok to be a sexist pig here)

Moonwire And David Teeter

2008.12.01

For the past week, Moonwire and David Teeter, two fellow photographers I met through flickr have been here in Tokyo.

I’ve used various forms of social networks and chat rooms for getting on for 10 years and most of the people I’ve met “offline” from other places have turned out to be freaks who I never wanted to meet “offline” ever again.

I Wear Black On The Outside.

2008.12.01

Just a little Christmas shopping in Akihabara, a beautiful sunny winter day, The Monkees on my iPod and some of those fantastic Onigiri (natto ume and a Tuna mayo with konbu)……
Smoking a cigarette and thinking about a little trip to Pop Life ;-) and I spot this guy just wandering along talking to his friend (another “oh isn’t it just so kawaii the cos-play culture in Japan” child in a mans body).

MEKAS-A Commissoned Shoot

2008.12.01

I was recently commissioned to shoot the opening party of the MEKAS website at an insanely expensive and disgustingly trendy club in Omotesando, Tokyo called Le Baron. Luckily they had to let me in as I was working and even more fortuitously there was a free bar ;-)

Rope Brusera

Rope Brusera

There’s a side street off Dogenzaka in Shibuya, up towards Maruyamacho, where there lurks a strange, strange shop.

Fuck Hotel California!
