I recently submitted my ‘Let the poets cry themselves to sleep’ series to Jorg Colberg’s rather exellent Conscientious site for consideration in his Portfolio competition.
I didn’t win (clearly a travesty ;-) congrats to Lydia Anne McCarthy , Oksana Yushko and Dalton Rooney who did.
Jorg was kind enough to blog about the series though.

In the dark heart of Shibuya’s seediest district, Maruyama-cho, amidst the love hotels, used underwear shops and sexual service advice centers lies an oasis of calm, The Lion Cafe.

Self Service Beer Machine 2.0 – Starring Sean “motionid” Wood

2010.09.18

In Decemeber last year I posted a little video of a self service beer machine in an izakaya in Sangenjaya, Tokyo.
The video wasn’t very good, I had only just begun to shoot video and had no idea about encoding and all that jazz.
(plus for some reason I shot it in portrait orientation?? what was I thinking?)

Well, last night I ended up in the same izakaya (the name of which I still can’t remember) with Sean “motionid” Wood and Jon “it’ll all end in tears” Ellis and decided to shoot the video again, this time in Super-wideo-vision (Eiichi Scart’s 15mm lens from the previous post).

Eyes Wide Open

2010.09.17

Look at what happens when you borrow a Canon 15mm f2.8 fisheye lens from Mr Eiichi “Scart” Miyamoto for a project you are shooting.(Lead photo is from the project, shh! secret for now)
You end up walking around with it on your camera for over a week, seeing the world in a whole new ‘wider’ way.
