Missing Japan: Shooting people in Osaka | Japan Probe
I am so happy to be back in the USA but, I am not going to lie… I miss Japan! Especially when I see video clips like this, it takes me back… This video is in Japanese but you don’t need to understand Japanese to appreciate it and have a laugh! I cannot confirm how authentic it is, but while I was teaching, some of my students definitely played around like this and Satomi insists that this really happens! My favorites are the guy on the bike getting shot and the one guy coming out of the convenient store called, “Lawson” getting hit by the sword!
Yuki and Mariko
This was the first wedding I shot and the one I talked about on the about Evan page. It seems like so long ago now, and I was so close to not even shooting it at all. Really hard to imagine now what my life would be like if I hadn’t…
Needless to say, weddings in Japan are quite different from weddings in the USA. Don’t let the western attire fool you! There was no dancing, no tiered cake, no bridesmaids or groomsmen, no tossing of the bouquet, and so on; however, it was still a beautiful wedding and a wonderful time.
University of Miami at UNC Mens Basketball
Last Saturday, I shot the the basketball game at the Dean Dome for the University of Miami Sports Information Department because Jack McClinton and the Miami Hurricanes came into town to play the UNC Tarheels. Having been out of the country for the past few years, it was the first NCAA game I had shot in a while! It took me a few plays to get the rust off, but I came away with some good shots and had a blast!
