A Brotherhood Of Outsiders

Are you living your life spending? ...or are you spending your life living?

Make the claim...for life, it's all about the "X".

WARP Magazine Japan (mwcp V.S Softmachine)

Japans mens, sk8, street fashion magazine WARP published 4 fashion pages with my photos and Softmachines clothes in their last issue, #147-2008 Check it out!!









Shawn Barber, painter...the best!!

BloodAxeFesta

Hard Core show in Shibuya, organized by Loyal To The Grave. German metal core Caliban ended the show...Tokyo Uber alles!!

Fuck security, absolutely useless against these hard core crews. Takes more than just standing there looking big and beefy. They know they are fake, everyone knows it and feels sorry for these big babies, this is the only job they can get. From the bottom of my heart, I truly hate the police, the military and the so called security.

Bicycle Film Festival

.............HERE................




















And don't forget Johnny Payphone....

(Old) Muscle Dudes & Gals

Body building and looking healthy is a trend that was taken from cultura Americana sometime in a not so distant past. Lot's of stuff in Japan was borrowed from the west after the war ended (August 15, 1945 in Japan), still is. I had the chance to shoot this fitness event yesterday, they called the female part of the event "Misfit" (?!), thought that was kinda weird but appropriate name....or was it Miss Fit?


+60 mens muscle flex was cool. Could fit on a Manowar CD cover!

SPEEED NIGHT Vol.10...?

Check MOTOYAN for what was going down. His images are really cool cos he is a real person doing real stuff his own way!! A big thanx also goes out to the STARFUCKER crew for being some of the coolest people I have ever met as well as Jun for a fast and fun route.

Anthrax In Kawasaki

Is Neko sponsored by Heineken....?


I went to see old school thrash metal moshers Anthrax in Kawasaki last night with my friend Neko. He arranged passes so we met Scott Ian and Charlie Benante for a short chat. Anthrax have been coming to Japan for the last 22 years!! Neko plays guitar in metal maniac band KNUCKLEHEAD (image below) and being an old time fan of trash metal (I would say Anthrax most of all...) his day was made.

Back To The Future...

Working on something...

Jun And The Starfucker

New STARFUCKER bike in the RxKxBx klan. This is a really tight and soulful bicycle from one of Tokyo's best "New" builder, the Starfuckers. Too be able to keep things simple but still have that hard core fundament is always harder than it looks, and in this case it works just beautifully. What more can you ask for if you are a rider whom put weight on quality and heart...and speeed?

Another "Happy Monday"...

Some images from yesterday, went down to Jonanjima Skate Park with the sk8 guys. Hot as hell as usual and this ramp is BIG... (for me!). Man, I have to get my shit together and learn to skate better. I can imagine the sound of a drop-in Kamikaze when my skull breaks wide open on the hot asphalt and the sirens wailing on the way to the hospital ...another Happy Monday indeed!

BFF TOKYO is on the way over here. You better check it out this year as well. Link is on the right side somewhere...



This one below was sent to me earlier today from a RxKxBx friend who visited Chicago and the BFF there. I spoke to Brent Barbur on the phone today and he said he was looking forward to seeing us all over here in a couple of weeks, so be prepared. Lots of good films, interesting people to hook up with and some some stuff that is too early to tell...(bring your bike!). I am working as volunteer photographer so if you have any questions about BFF TOKYO I will try to answer them, e-mail me on :
