This is undoubtedly the biggest and most important project I’ve ever done.

Film Handling
Kodak has a great manual for handling film.
Passion of the Neglected Minority
I would like to write a poem,
but my pen doesn’t work
pots and pans are all messed up
So I just say for your genuine you
it’s not for the life and death,
but for love and death
Four Photos from Japan
My four photos titled 日本 / Japan, which I exhibited in group exhibition this fall, are now in gallery.
Baby Baby coming soon
I will write review of Kawashima Kotori’s Baby Baby soon. He is the Japanese photographer who made mega-hit Miraichan.
NYIP
I am considering to join New York Institute of Photography. Everything I’ve heard about the program is good, and the courses are delightfully profound, giving students very good and robust skills.
Moreover, I feel their international atmosphere is like a fresh breeze for me.
I think I will take their professional course.
X100 and large memory cards
I have recently noticed strange behavior with my Fujifilm Finepix x100.
If I import the photos with iPad connection kit or memory card reader to my mac, and then put the card back to the camera without formatting it (in camera), the camera will take several minutes to start up.
The card is 16gb Sandisk and I have updated the firmware of my x100 to the latest one.
If anyone know how to solve this issue, I’d be really glad.
Here Sometimes, Tomorrow
My photo exhibition Here Sometimes will start from tomorrow. It has been quite a journey to get here. I really want to say thanks for everyone who was involved in making the photos.
Especially I want to say thanks to Saeko Nakahara, the beautiful model in the photo “Adoption” which is now in the front page, Maya Sinji Jung, my sister and big teacher in Jeju, and Turo Halinen who took the top photo in this post.
I also want to say thanks for my wife for allowing me to do what I want.
We have opening party at 6.00PM in the gallery tomorrow. I hope you can make it before the wine disappears.
