Light is the playground on which the shadows write their stories. (2024).

Within the dusk, in the invisible of darkness, our primitive fears and core emptiness are revealed. Within the dusk, within the swish of the night, the endless surrounding and the pure fullness of being are enhanced. (2024).

A highly recommended place when you are in the mood for live rock music and find yourself in Tokyo.

I had to double-check my notes on this one - f/2.9 with a 75mm lens on a scale-focus medium format camera shouldn't be this sharp. Sure, the corners are a bit weird, but still... not too shabby.
Also, I've wanted to photograph this abandoned tunnel for a long time. Finally found myself with the right conditions and with the right footwear to do a bit of casual trespassing. Well worth the wait.
Late last year, I ran a small project with a nonprofit in San Francisco. We gave out instant film cameras (color and black and white) to 5 people who were either unhoused or who lived nearby in one of the 'SROs'. We did a tiny, tiny exhibition.
I'm still working to figure out how to make this a more regular thing, and how to show their work, because they have such amazing stories to tell.
