Stamina in Kabukicho
I have no idea how these guys shoot for 14 hours without stopping or eating. In this photo, taken yesterday at 17:30, I’m exhausted, sunburned, sweaty and starving after traversing Harajuku, Omotesando and Shin-Okubo from 10:00. They are taking shot after shot of Kabukicho’s neon-covered porn shops & pachinko parlors. I’m cranky and at the…

On the grass at the Dome
Yesterday one of our filming locations was Tokyo Dome. We captured the Yomiuri Giants’ batting practice and pre-game activities. We attracted some attention from the press. I guess it isn’t every day that a foreign film crew invades the regular reporters’ turf. I fielded a bunch of questions about who we are and what we’re…

Meishi of my own
Since we moved in February, I’ve not had any personal meishi (business cards), but while shopping the other day, I found some very interesting translucent stock that will work in my inkjet printer. So today I’m designing some new cards. I forgotten how challenging it is to get a good balance of white space, graphic…

With Africa Against povery
A couple of weeks ago, I accepted a pro bono job to make a virtual banner to accompany the “With Africa Against Poverty” campaign that the United Nations Development Programme is running. All of the footballers in Africa (along with some FIFA executives and the heads of several African nations) signed a huge, 7 meter…

Zousan.com wins
I can’t decide whether I’m thrilled or humiliated. In the past 13 days, the Zous website has had 824 visits. Mine got only 166.That explains the possible humiliation. On the other hand, I’m excited because zousan.com was mentioned on KininaruWeb, a Japanese site that shares links to interesting sites. The comment that accompanied the link…

The Zous are very excited. Their domain, zousan.com, went live yesterday. They have photos, personal favorites, and even a song. They are already considering upgrades, like a weblog and a guest book. They keep looking at the webstats to see if anyone has visited it, so if you have a minute, take a look and…

Today I’ve completed my professional website, to complement my personal site and this one. I’m pleased to unveil media tinker. It needs some additional tweaking, but it’s “done enough” for you…
