The Art Of Rebellion (S.T Forever)



1981 was the year Venice and the rest of the world got Skate Punk. Suicidal Tendencies is now a household name among true music rebels around the globe. Of the bands still around from that time, S.T has been one of the few I have keept close since I first heard them, back in time when the album covers were big and decorative. To have met the innovator of eyeopening F.T.S music with a groove was a true honor, and to work with the Mike Muir and Mike Clark team was a positive phase in my professional freelance life that I will forever treasure.

Special thanx to Sushi Tanaka A.K.A =S.T=


Ueno Zoological Concentration Camp



This most be as close to hell a polar bear can come. 36 degrees Celsius in the shade on a hot slab of concrete infront of the human hordes. A bleak environment for both chained animals and probably a handful of people who might actually have seen compassion and understanding in it's true color. These in their free state animals with their proud colors of uniqueness have here been slowly washed dry to a mere lifeless heap of feathers, skin and fur. But for only ¥600 it's all yours for a day, cos don't we all just love to see them slowly die...enjoy...goes good with soft cream (¥400)!

A Sunday In August

I know the remedy for my since childhood quite disturbing Sunday Blues. That is to find something that keeps your mind so occupied that Sunday just quickly pays its duce without mercy so Monday can start without a trace of those haunting school going days, man did I hate most days before 18 years of age. What kept me occupied this Sunday was a medley of photogenic situations with people doing this and that, like.....

People Posing










People Fighting







People Socializing






Seemed like I was not the only one suffering from Sunday Blues this day. It's just a level of how far you want to go to really kill it off, the limit is as you can see on various levels amongst our fellow earthlings... Always fun to see what other people actually do when they say they are having a good time, well...what can I say?....pretty lame!

The camera, both a "shield" and a "liberator"

1 YEAR (One Shot, One Kill) ANNIVERSARY

In August last year I sat down and started this blog out of pure boredom (I think!?). It has proved to be a pretty nice and helpful tool to be able to show more of my daily life and work to people out there in the world. I always get amazed when I check out the blogspotter on the bottom of this page, man, there are some people in Central Asia checking my blog out, some one in South Africa, Chile and a bunch of Kiwis as well. How cool isn't that? We (me, myself & I) will give it a push and aim for one more year at least or till the "BlogSpot" data base collapses. To my fellow global souls out there, keep your eyes open and your mind free.

Wingspan - ANA Inflight Magazine

Japans major airline ANA (All Nippon Airways) has a great inflight magazine called WINGSPAN and in this Augusts issue m.w.c.p produced an article with text and photos from a climb of Japans hightest and most respected peak i.e. Mt.Fuji. Having worked with writer Tony McNicol on stories for ANA & WINGSPAN in the past but this one being my first solo attempt, looked pretty cool. Past articles with a collabortion with McNicol has been:

January 2006-Drum Songs (Hachijojima)
April 2006- A Model Business (Japans plastic models)
February 2007- Shanghai to Urumqi, The westbound train
March 2007- Kabuki Prop
