 A recent experiment with found images. 

Two weeks ago I went hiking with friends at Mt. Kirishima (霧島山), a mountain range in southern Kyushu. During the hike, my camera fell and opened, exposing all my shots of the elevated mountain lake and huge crater we'd hiked to. Despite that, I'm happy with what survived. I'm really enjoying the Minolta since switching to Lomography film.  

I've officially submitted my re-contracting papers, electing not to stay for a third year on the JET program.  At the same time, I've printed out applications for four art residencies in Greece and am preparing to contact a public art organization in Bristol, England about a paid internship with them. After that, the plan's to resettle in a mid-to-small-sized American city with a good creative scene and a job that gives me the free time I need to realize various dreams. I am excited about all of this.

Participatory art projects. Why do I do this to myself?
