Asoh Kaho
Last week a make-up artist friend, Yuko Goto, asked me to shoot for a friend and client of hers Asoh Kaho (www.kaho.jp) , a Japanese traditional musician and dancer. The shoot took place at the Akasaka Prince Hotel, in the rather beautiful 2 storey old building, which reeked of money and decadence ;-) It was…

Welcome to 2010 Mr Clarke

Controversially (exactly to who I don’t quite understand) together with a team of highly respected experts he drew up a new classification system for drugs based on “harm”, the rankings placed Alcohol far above Ecstacy, causing outrage in middle England. That…

John Storey – Venue Magazine Article
My Father, John Storey (Pictured above) is a damn fine human being, a man who taught me what integrity means and made it forever impossible for me to look at oil paintings of countryside scenes without slipping into a boredom induced coma, thanks to his vain attempts to educate me in the arts as a…
Geek up your ass gently (?)
A few weeks ago I wrote a post about a band, GEEKS, playing outside Shibuya station who made me stop and listen, a rare occurance indeed.
