it’s been too long without a post, though certainly not for any lack of activity here. a couple of conversations with some people here, and seeing tavi’s blog a few times, has led me to believe that i should be a little bit more open about what i am doing here in japan. so i will give an update on that soon.

about two years ago i made myself write enough posts so that i could have one go up every weekday. sitting at a desk all day made that easier, and that’s not my situation now, but i think posting 2-3 times a week should be pretty reasonable. marc thought it was better to let posts be infrequent but of a higher quality. i have been in that mode of writing for the last few months, but it’s not very fulfilling for me, blog posts as a rule do not get very much reaction – this is true even of marc’s posts, which are a cut above most of the blog chatter. (hi marc, how ya doin man???) i want to actually be practicing my writing, and to start doing that i have to be posting more.

of course you can expect the same type of posts which continue to bring my millions of visitors back each month, still unsatiated in their desire to consume anti-cynical, pro-revolutionary critique of contemporary japanese photography…
