Photo Portfolio in Nippon Camera

My Pinhole Photos are featured in an eight page spread in Nippon Camera Magazine March 2006 issue. This is the first publishing of a new series of dioramas called "Fears and Hopes" with theme of Peace vs the Other Side. Most viewers of my work have not seen this series yet. It is currently on sale in Japan. Maybe you can locate it in good "international" library or bookstore. I will post some of the photos here at a later date.

In February I had a chance to visit the AIPAD The Photography Show in NYC, The amount and quality of work on display was overwhelming. An report by me of the show with photos will appear in the Nippon Camera April issue due out March 20.
