Getting back into editing and will be posting a lot of work shot over the past couple of weeks.
We left Tokyo for a week on the 17th March, partly to help my friend Sam from the UK get something of a normal holiday out of his visit to us. Partly to escape the cabin-fever we were succumbing to in our small flat in Tokyo, which was swaying around like a stick of bamboo in a stiff breeze with all the aftershocks in the week immediately after the quake.
We spent a lovely week with Yim in Zushi, driving around the local area to show Sam some sights.
Had a great chat with this driver, who was also a keen photographer it turned out.
This was at one of my favourite shrines in Kamakura where we spent a delightfully relaxing hour or two just soaking up the utter silence. A great chance to contemplate the enormity of what had just happened to Japan. A time to reflect on the luck we had been blessed with by having escaped the worst of the tragedy.
A moment for me to reflect on the decision we had made, just before Sam had arrived, not to pick him up from the airport and head straight off to relatives for a week in Fukushima......
How different it all could have been if we'd gone with that Plan A for Sam's holiday in Japan.

Just messing with feels, concepts and stuff after shooting with Akiko the other day. The timing with this taxi was nice. All the focus fall-off is straight out of the camera. Loads of tilt and shift on the lens to get this on-location.
Some fake light-leak and blown-out processing going on in Pshop.
