I see my brother has updated his portfolio website and now has a “personal” section to go along with his more commercial stuff (clicking the above image will take you straight there). Apparently he’s been able to squeeze some photography into his business trips here (as above shows). And he seems to have added more substantial celebrity portraits to his portfolio since those days when he was shooting some “ex-girlfriend of Dennis Rodman”.

I apologize for the lack of updates of late, truth is I’ve got other projects and stuff I’m doing at the moment, plus you know the everyday of life that has to be done (or wants to be done) as well. I figure these vicissitudes will keep me rather busy for the next few months, which means the quietude herein will also continue. I will try to pop in from time to time to upload a photo or two, perhaps more, but no promises.

For the time being, here’s a photo from earlier this year, not from Japan but from Hawaii. (I wrote about this place briefly here.) Click on it for a larger version.

Bodie State Historic Park, California, September 18, 1999.

More from the California archives 🙂 . Bodie State Historic Park is the remnants of a once thriving mining town northeast of Yosemite near the Nevada border. Having been in the California park system some 40 years, it has a slightly sanitized feel to it, though to be fair it seems like more sensible heads have prevailed and one certainly can’t accuse it of being Disney-fied. (For starters, the road there from the Interstate is one of the rougher roads I’ve driven on in the States.)

Naoko and I made the trek here during a weekend trip to Yosemite in September of 1999, a trip I still look fondly back on, even if 5 years hence the photo remnants are a bit hard to get excited about.
