arrived in Tokyo

no photos yet, our first day of our adventure started at a night at the Days Inn in Romulus due to airplane issues, whatever, better safe than sorry, we landed in Tokyo earlier,where i'm writing now, and heading out to Nam right now.

flew over Russian air space...no Migs, that was exciting, and beautiful.

Ohhh, the way those city light shadows fall...

you would think walking on the river walk at sunset i would have found a picture on the river...damn those trees, always calling out to me...even in the darkness

because if your backyard is a parking lot...

Someone had recently said Detroit has a meloncholy optimism...i was reminded of this when i found a couple using their pingpong table on a parking lot, since they didn't really have a back yard...amazingly the parking attendant didn't charge...

how do you impress a photographer?

get her access to one of the most coveted photo spots in the city....and loan her your hard hat when she forgets hers... (a few months behind, shot in March...)

It's John Martin!!!

oh, and Jon Bon Jovi...who apparently didn't recognize me from 1989 Phoenix concert...i mean i was only 100 rows back from the stage!!!!

a band i use to like, but not so much anymore...

so when we shoot bands you only get three songs, i use to like this band...but i was also 18...so 1/2 way through the first song i was done...but hung around anyway...i'd disclose the name of the band, but i was unsure of their contract whether or not i can...

evidence my job can sometimes be okay...

when trying to impress hockey players...
