Interview on Empty Kingdom

The lovely people over at CFYE.com (Crack For Your Eyes – GREAT name!) have published an interview with me and some of my work.
On June 10th I will be a guest lecturer at “Deciphering Japan” at Tokyo University of the Arts.
My “281_Anti nuke” documentary will screen at the Pori Art Museum in Pori, Finland as part of the East Asian Video frames : Tokyo exhibition.
Here in LA for a week before heading to Las Vegas and NAB
Episode 4 over on Sean Bonner’s podcast site “Viva Riot” is a conversation with me about film making, Japan, encryption and some other nonsense.
Whilst at Interbee 2013 last week I did a live interview at the Atomos and Teradek booth with Dan Chung for his News shooter site.
Teradek have just posted it to their vimeo channel so you can watch it again if you missed it.
I talk about my work, show my showreel and clips from my Safecast (www.safecast.org) documentary and my “Only Native Japanese Imam in Tokyo” piece for VICE.
I was recently interviewed by the very lovely Kris Kosaka for this piece in the Japan Times community section.
Thanks for featuring me and my work!

My new Portfolio site is live. The idea was to provide a minimal number of photographs within an uncluttered interface and larger photos to allow clients to get a quick overview of my work without being faced with the 200 plus images on my main site. If that was the brief I’m reasonably confident that…
A cold Saturday in Tokyo, my day off and nothing constructive to do. Really wanting to practice my lighting skills due to some upcoming assignments the only model available would have to do. There seems to something inherently narcissistic about the self portrait, a stable of artists since the dawn of time. The challenge, to…
If you go down to the woods today you’re in for a big surprise. Well, ok it’s hardly ‘the woods’, but lets say for instance you were walking down Meiji dori in Harajuku and you walked past the Uniqlo ‘UT’ store, you may if you glanced at the store window see someone you recognised. If…
Today I received an email from Getty Images via my Flickr account asking if I would like to include some selected images from my Flickr stream in the new Getty Flickr collection. After some thought on the matter I have decided it would be crazy to say no, although I’m sure some of my photographer…
