A commercial for the From Above photography exhibition in Hiroshima, Japan.
The book, From Above, will be available at the venue. It will be officially released in Japan next week and throughout the US and Europe soon after. I’ll be sending out information on the book release as soon the book is available in the stores and on-line.

These are the posters for the upcoming From Above photo exhibition in Hiroshima from August 3rd-31st.
This will be the 5th exhibition of the on-going portrait series about Hibakusha, atomic bomb survivors. This series in Hiroshima has not been shown before.
The book, From Above, will be released in Japan next week and is available at the venue. It will also be released in the US and Europe shortly after. I’m hoping it will be delivered to the stores in the US by the first week of August. More information will be posted next week on where it’s available on-line and in stores.
The exhibition will move to the Kyoto Peace Museum during September. The prints shown in Kyoto will be different than in Hiroshima. I will post information about the Kyoto exhibition in a couple of weeks.
A short video shot by Iori Yoneda during the From Above exhibition in Dresden, Germany.
From Above was exhibited simultaneously in Dresden and Tokyo. A couple more days to catch to the exhibition before it closes in both cities.
Thank you to everyone in both cities who came to the exhibitions. A big thank you to the Dresden and Tokyo teams who made it possible for the photos to be exhibited. Without their tireless efforts none of this would be possible.
From Above is my continuing series of portraits about atomic bomb Survivors and fire bombing survivors from Tokyo and Dresden. There are also events happening around the photo exhibition.

An article in Asahi Newspaper about the opening of From Above at Gallery EF in Tokyo.
The exhibition can be seen at Gallery EF until February 27th. This series from the project features Survivors of the Dresden fire bombings and Tokyo fire bombing Survivors.
The book featuring portraits from the entire project will be released in July 2011 by Contents Factory.
Some photos from the first day setting up From Above at Gallery EF.
The proper lighting will be set up soon. Looks like the placement of the photos is finalized.
Thank you to everyone in Tokyo, especially Izumi and Donnie for their amazing efforts. These exhibitions are only possible because of the tireless effort and generosity of everyone who has come together to support this project.
The exhibition opens on Friday February 4th and closes on February 27th. If your in Japan please take a look. The book release is July 2011.
A documentary shot by Community Media about my portrait project From Above. The project concentrates on the lives of Hibakusha (atomic bomb Survivors) and Tokyo fire bombing Survivors. It was shown at Gallery EF in Tokyo during March 2009 and at the Nagasaki Peace Museum during July 2010.
