Hey there friends and fellow photographers and writers,
I just wanted to be in touch to let you know I have a new photo book, published just last week in Tokyo by Neutral Colors.
It's called Middle Life Notes, and it comprises 26 images with 12 waka poems and an essay, about how I came to be me, here, now, at this point in my life. It's a bit more personal than Sunlanders, as the poems and images alike reveal somewhat autobiographical elements of my life. The images are all of Japan, shot with a Diana f+ and were made into darkroom color prints before being scanned. The waka (which are similar to haiku, but have a 5/7/5/7/7 scheme) were printed with a Risograph. Both the waka and the essay include Japanese translations.
It was published by Neutral Colors, by an editor who has an enormous number of contacts in Tokyo, but among all the talented photographers he could have chosen to launch his new line, it was my honor to be his first selection. I really am happy with the way the book turned out and I hope to share it with you.
The published edition is 333 copies, and I will be personally sell 111 of them. So before announcing on Instagram and Twitter I wanted to reach out to you first. It costs just ¥3200 with a small postage handling fee (¥250 in Japan to ¥500 further abroad), which is $30, with a $2-$5 post fee. I'll make almost no profit on sales-- making books is a labor of love, and I am in love!
If you are keen, I'd be happy to mail out a signed copy once I hear back from you. Please send me a DM and let me know your physical address. For those of you who bought Sunlanders, and will buy this new book, I am so grateful for your support.

I suppose this could be the cover of a Blue Note issue, one of those classic jazz albums produced by the creative people at Blue Note Records back in the hard bop days. At least that's what it reminded me of when I was getting into this. Perhaps something by their main tenor man Hank Mobley or their brilliant trumpeter Lee Morgan ... ?

The cardinal is the one bright note in our late-winter landscape here in New York. He is a very welcome sight at the busy bird feeder. Here, he is patientoy waitng his turn, perched in a large bush.

I made this card using the Simon Says Stamp Handwritten Floral Greetings and MFT Horizontal Stitched Strips. I used gold embossing powder and vellum for the leaves. I made this for the latest SSS flickr challenge #51
Achtelnote
Chalkfox SP Challenge - January - 'Musical Interlude'
Mein Beitrag zum Januar-Thema 'Musikalisches Zwischenspiel'.
Um ehrlich zu sein, ich war froh, diesmal überhaupt etwas hochgeladen zu haben, nachdem ich das Dezember-Thema ausgelassen hatte...
Während der Aufnahmen bemerkte ich schnell meine mangelnde körperliche Fähigkeit, eine Achtelnote auszuformen. Deshalb benötigt man wohl Unmengen an Vorstellungskraft, um die Achtelnote überhaupt zu erkennen! :))
Nebenbei bemerkt, es handelt sich um die Note G(erald)! :))))
My contribution to January's theme 'Musical Interlude'. To be honest, after skipping the December theme, I was happy to upload something at all...
While doing the shots I quickly realized my short physical ability to shape an eighth note. So you might need loads of imagination to actually 'see' the eighth note! :))
By the way, it's the musical note G(erald)! :))))

My favorite old cameras have notes on them left by the photographers who used them as tools, not talismans and fetishes.

Ever wanted an outfit but just never got around to getting it as there were many other outfits you wanted more? There are SO many Francie outfits I wanted that ‘Note The Coat’ always got passed over for something else, but I always really loved its simple, clean lines and that wonderful bark-like texture of the crepe fabric! I also LOVE those short 60’s double breasted coats, and the fact that its white reminds me of something that Courregés or even Valentino would have done, as in that famous all-white collection he designed in 1968. This coat of course, was released a year earlier, as Francie was always a trendsetter! I decided to go ‘all-white’ here and do a typical 60’s head-to-toe monochromatic look on my 1966 bend-leg Francie, using the stylish white cotton hat from the later ‘That Girl’ doll from 2002 and the white pleather pants from ‘Leather Limelight’. She also borrowed Tressy’s camera for the day, as I needed something black, white and graphic swinging from her arm! I may do another look without the pants and substitute some space age white Mod boots next…
This piano stood in the Sony Center in Berlin — one of those public instruments where anyone can sit down and play.
In this moment, the daughter of a friend started to play, completely lost in the sound.
No audience, no stage — just light, concentration, and quiet emotion.
I wanted to capture that sense of stillness and honesty, when music becomes something visual.
