My new series, Beyond the Pale of Two Cities is a photojournal about some of the social issues in #NYC and #HongKong. Using the #BlackLivesMatter and #UmbrellaMovement as its backdrops, the 75 image study examines what's behind the demonstrations on the streets.
A photo book of this series will be available on Amazon in October. Like this page on Facebook to get updates when it becomes available.

It has been three years since the tsunami hit. Wondered how folks are doing in the Northeast of Japan.
Still Life - Sharon Core
In an CCNY lecture series event, Sharon Core, as guest lecturer at SVA told some interesting behind-the-scenes stories of her painstaking process to photographically recreate paintings by Wayne Thiebaud and Raphaelle Peale. I am glad to hear that she is still using 4x5 & all analog process.

Yours, &c.
Back in the days, Japanese used “不一” or “ふいち (Fuichi)” or something similar at the end of their letters to show that the letter or words could not convey all the writer wanted to say. The closest translation (in formality rather than meaning) in English may be “Sincerely yours” as a valediction. As seen in Jane Austen books, some folks in the 18th century ended letters with “Yours, etc.” or further abbreviated it to “Yours, &c.”
Any photograph captures a moment in time. Arts often leave room for interpretation. It is my intention to approach each photograph with one or more subject matters. More often than not, a photograph or even a set of them may not be suffice to convey all I want to say. That is a feeling of "Fuichi."
