Last night I went, with Jim O’connell, to the opening of Canadian photographer Nathalie Daoust’s ‘Hide and Sex’ exhibition at the vanilla gallery in Ginza.
I was invited by Yuri, my pole dancer friend from the show I shot recently, who features as one of Nathalies models.

Jim and all that jazz – 5D mkII video editing

2009.08.18

I haven’t really been using the video function on my 5D, I’m not a videographer and I already have ridiculous amounts of hard drives filled with photo files, last thing I need is to start getting into HD video with all the huge files and possible new video cards mess that will get me into.
However, recently I was browsing my recent pictures folder and discovered I had 2 videos that would work together rather well.

I recently had a conversation with Zebrio about an interesting scooter we saw in Shibuya a while ago.
Following on from my previous post, I was browsing my old photographs and came across the pictures which I had never published anywhere, turns out they were taken exactly 2 years ago.
So, here for your delectation are the shots.
I only wish we knew whose scooter it was because I’m sure he/she is quite a character ;-)
Should have left my business card on the seat in retrospect (with my home number scrawled on the back :-)

Inspired in part by motionid and his ‘from the archives’ posts over on his blog, I have been looking back through photos from a year ago, seeing if there are pictures I didn’t like at the time which I like now and attempting to see if there has been any progression/changes in my work.
