Just in case the tattoo on your hand you had done to remind you about it wore off, my show in Osaka will open tomorrow. But don’t come just to see “Nebraska Street Photography”, you need to check out the work by some other photographers as well, folks with whom it will be lovely to share gallery space with. I will be down there for the day of Saturday, which will be great because that is the day that Hiromi Tsuchida will be doing portfolio reviews with those who bring prints. I will bring prints. Photographs you just have not yet seen. Oh yeah and I will make another hamfisted attempt to explain myself in japanese. But maybe this time there will not be that one guy trying to take over my talk.

In all seriousness, the work I have been making in the past few months has been more agressive but delicate than the pictures I had been making a year ago. The drive is there, the “keeping the faith” as it has been put by other people. I just keep shooting (and shooting) and developing the film, and once I get back from Nebraska in early January I will get to printing through the alarmingly growing stack of negative files that are on my desk at home.
