documentary snaps of life – fleeting glimpse, possibly elsewhere – sometimes a collection but those are using photo essays so these just are

Artifact: Tokyo 2020 / brand design sign (for the record)

Image Leave a comment

Resisting starting a collection of Tokyo 2020 design artifacts, really… but here is one for the archive of the Olympic Games which may or may not happen and either way: Will the event still be called Tokyo 2020 when held in 2021? Sure why not… :)

Think of the store rooms and warehouses filled with printed plastic tarps and banners and signs and merchandise and other now rather unnecessary accruements. Warehouses full I tell ya!

PS plenty more Olympics-related media in True North Media House project dossier if oddly curious

Epicness is in all of our futures, we can’t quite predict how or when… but it’s coming!

Danger is everywhere, not always warned so plainly.

Note: For the record, I took this photograph with a Lomo “sardine can” cork-covered camera with expired black-and-white film in India

Momo tree, intrepid tree blooms for the first time in our yard

Image Leave a comment

Momo is Peach, a fruit for which Okayama is well-noted (including folktale Momtaro, the peach boy with his sidekicks – a pheasant and a monkey), anyhow, received the tree as a wedding perk from the city government. With chaos in the world, the intrepid tree blooms for the first time in our yard. Splendid.
