I was lucky enough to work with Maybelle Imasa-Stukuls on reshooting her portfolio. Styling was a collaborative effort, but all the beautiful calligraphy and illustration is Maybelle's. Visit her redesigned site.
A phalaenopsis plant potted in a clay pot is a pretty expensive prop, even an untagged orphan such as this one, so I have felt a sense of obligation (for better or for worse) to continue to photograph this plant as it blooms and changes.

There is something so beautiful about this Islamic calligraphy - it takes so many forms, but is an art form in itself. Do I find it so much more exquisite than our writings because I do not understand how to read it, or is it actually on a par with our ancient illuminated works produced by the monks, where the letters are understandable even if the words are not always. I have always been fascinated by the construction of words - the construction of language, the etymology, the way the letters and words have developed over the years, and the way that modern English, in particular, has changed even during the time I have been using it to communicate....
Sadly, I don't have an ear for either languages or music - I love to hear both, but my brain won't retain them...

'Bismillah' Calligraphy on the walls of Tokyo's Turkish Mosque in the Shibuya-ku district district.
The phrase 'Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim' translates to 'In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful'. It is a common phrase used by Muslims before they do anything e.g. before eating or before driving or before starting an exam :) etc
The wisdom of using this phrase is to remind people to be conscious of God, and in doing so, refrain from acting unjustly or being ungrateful to the blessings which God Almighty has bestowed upon us all.

He was a teacher of Japanese calligraphy, and had been commuting to our school more than 30 years. He handled work with model diligence. Now he is 60 years old, he retired from our school. I took this portrait at the last day of his commuting.
彼は書道の教員で、我々の学校に30年以上勤めました。彼は模範的な努力で仕事をこなしました。60才である今、彼は我々の学校を定年退職しました。私は、彼が最後に通勤する日に、このポートレートを撮らせていただきました。

My friend Khaled tells me: This is a work of art in Arabic done about 300 years ago on the year 1139 Hijri calendar (We are now 1440).
The artist used The name of Allah (the Arabic word for God), The name Mohammad (the name of the Prophet of Islam), The four names of the first Islamic Caliphs (in order: Abu Bakr, Omar, Othman, Ali).
Thank you to those who have sympathised with the migraine issue - the pain is still with me, and I am still taking tablets, and being miserable, but it will go soon, and then life will return to normal.
