Outer Peace and Apple Scrumping I wonder what goes through other people's minds when they see street photography. I see hundreds of little vignettes like this one out and about every day. Some I manage to photograph. Some I fail to save from slipping through my fingers and into the voracious, sarlacc-like maw of time. Either way, they always get me thinking. On a bright and breezy May 19?2012, I walked to a nearby ?Bux' and got to started on some design work. Like a cheeky apple scrumper, I... Read more

Aoi Matsuri takes place in Kyoto every May. Aoi Matsuri (??) is one of the three main annual festivals held in Kyoto, Japan, the other two being the Festival of the Ages and Gion Festival. It's often called Hollyhock festival although ?aoi' is not hollyhock, nor are they related. Aoi (?) doesn't have an English name, but the Latin name is Asarum caulescens. It's a species of wild ginger. The connection with Hollyhock came about because one of the kanji characters was related, so someone... Read more

Some of the most valuable objects I own are my notebooks. Financial value has little meaning to me, but my notebooks carry lyrics and design drafts that are irreplaceable. I used to use Moleskines, which are mass-produced notebooks that share a name with well-made notebooks used by writers and artists, whose names are printed on the marketing blurb (Hemingway et al). However, if you look past the ad copy and into the product you'll find that a far better alternative is the Ciak Duo.... Read more

The beauty of the Internet is that it brings you into contact with all kinds of people and lets you share information and knowledge. I wonder where this lovely lady is from' BTW my comeback may seem a bit harsh, but on her photo caption she outright accused me of stealing her shot and demanded I take it down.? It wouldn't have been so bad were it not for the fact that her post-processing and white balance were not exactly the work of a seasoned pro. I resent the implication that I would... Read more
