I am having my long term photo project.

Shortly to say, it’s about taking documental portraits of a person who has different cultural back grounds and any international experiences; Individually or group-picture (family) with a short easygoing interview chart.

I am looking for volunteers who can join in my project. If you have interest, please contact me. Thank you.

I am currently working for the Japanese photo magazine titled Snap! The main focus of Snap! is toy film cameras like Holga, Lomo, and Diana, and the artistic opportunities that they make possible.

The latest issue is Vol. 7 which came out on 20th August 2009. There is a short profile, and interview with me about my use of the Holga, with some examples of my work. I also took charge of two other pages in this issue, in which I researched, interviewed, translated, and wrote about the Holga work of three other photographers in the U.S., and France.

Snap! is available at newsstands all across Japan, and worldwide at Kinokuniya books. Some of the Kinokuniya locations include:

- Taiwan (Taipei, Taichung),
- Singapore (Singapore),
- Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur),

- Thailand (Bangkok, Sukhumvit, Siam Paragon),
- Indonesia (Jakarta),
- UAE (Dubai),
- Australia (Sydney),
- U.S.A. (New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, San Jose, Los Angeles, Costa Mesa),
and more.

So, if you get a chance, please take a look my latest work, and the direction that Japanese photography is taking today.

You can also find Snap! on the web.　Thanks for Mr. P.Woods
