STOIC VIOLENCE? This record off my 7″ collection. GUDON “Stoic Violence” 7″ 1986 VAP Inc. Stunning artwork. It was in 1984-85 that I discovered the great quality of japanese graphic design. Stuff you wouldn’t see anywhere else.

Neighborhood x Charles Krafft
August 27 09
It’s been a few years since NBHD Harajuku was revamped using material from different artists. One artist is Charles Krafft from Seattle. Known for his collaborations with the legendary artist group NSK (Laibach etc.), his work displayed at NBHD is called “disasterware”. The pieces are scary, beautiful, disgusting, poetic, revolting, peaceful… so many different emotions [...]
Substance #01
August 20 09
Open publication I dig Substance by Souhei Oguro. Great technique, grain, detail. Yum! Check Souhei’s blog too!
In the Club (image teaser)
August 18 09
For Loveform’s next audio/video mix called “In the Club”, I took a few preview screenshots (off the video). The 60 (or so) minutes video was shot at Club Unit Daikanyama / Tokyo, January 2009. More to come… In the meantime, check Loveform’s website for the previous video “Minimal.Hard“.
Dieter Rams, designer – Cold War Modern
August 18 09
Ok I know it’s a bit off-topic, but couldn’t resist. This is Dieter Rams, talking about the design revolution! It’s a time-trip, way pre-Clockwork Orange era.
A.P.C. UNDERGROUND
August 15 09
I used to be a big fan of A.P.C.’s clothes in the 90′s. This A.P.C.’s Underground store in Harajuku. In front of Headporter and on the same building as HP.Annex. It’s not as big as their Daikanyama’s store, but it’s nice too.

Killer photos, I don’t know what to say, great grain, nice color, and superb settings. Thumbs up!
Old bum, Yamanote-style

There’s no time or place for a nap. Daytime napping on the Yamanote-sen.
Winter love in Shibuya, Tokyo

Ricoh GRDII / GRDIII
August 8 09
This piece of photo gear anthology is my main tool when it comes to street snap, it’s a Ricoh GRDII. I’ve used Ricoh cameras for 13 years now. I love Ricoh. As the GRDIII version will be released this month, I’m sharing a few links with you, enjoy, buy it, then send me your photos! [...]
Golden Gai, Photography, Alcohol
August 7 09
A nice evening at some Golden Gai bar with Ashtom and great photographer Agake Masahito. The bar had several great b/w photos and spotted Moriyama Daido in a few of them, amongst other artists. That’s because the owner of the bar is a photographer and used to be Daido’s student !
John Hughes RIP.
August 7 09
John Hughes, my teenage years were rocked by your brilliant films, Weird Science, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller’s day off, Vacation, Christmas vacation, Pretty in pink, to name a few. I’ll never forget you.

Route24
August 7 09
This is my friend Kenichi, he’s from Tokyo, he’s a game designer/producer, he’s into Ricoh GRDII too. We met at Design Festa in Tokyo, spring 2008. He saw my camera and we instantly clicked, we shot eachother with our GRDII. Instant friendship. Kenichi has a dog too, and he’s very cool indeed (ok I love [...]
Moa 4 cafe
August 7 09
Since the beginning of No.51269 you’ve noticed the Moa 4 Cafe in pictures or talks. Well, now you know it, it’s my daily stop, my before-going-to-work headquarters in Shinjuku, before I go on a shooting spree downtown Kabukicho/Golden Gai/etc. I usually get a cheap ice coffee there. Now the problem is this: the cafe has [...]
