On a much, much lighter note: I’ve been pretty continuously documenting my life with Polaroid film over the past year. While I don’t think I’m ever going to upload *everything*, only about 1/3 of what I shoot ends up online… I feel like it might be good timing to turn this blog into a #photography #blog.
Last week I photographed the Tokyo Closet Ball, an avant-garde performance art space based in Tokyo. A drag collective consisting of mostly foreign residents, its reminiscent of a DIY-Leigh Bowery aesthetic filtered through a Kaiju villain lens. I’m honored to be friends with and surrounded by such free-flowing creativity here in Tokyo. Speaking quite frankly, the art scene in Tokyo is very corporate and weighed-down by rules, regulations, and social etiquette. The air of exclusivity to everything is neither inviting nor pleasant. That said, this is a fringe art collective made up of unique and talented individuals, who are not bound by rules or convention.
