The final day of my From Above exhibition at the Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for Atomic Bomb Victims. It was an honor to have been asked by the Peace Hall to participate in the Nagasaki Peace Film Forum and to have met with many of the hibakusha (atomic bomb survivors) I’ve photographed in the past.

Thank you to everyone who attended and to the many people who helped make this possible throughout the eight years of the project. Without them there would not be an exhibition or project.

Urakami Cathedral, Nagasaki, Japan

Sunday, August 7th, 2016

..September 2008 Nagasaki..
7AM walk before 2nd day of portraits

….500 feet above my head the 2nd atomic bomb detonated on August 9th, 1945. Blood, fire, black rain, and heat engulfed everywhere around me. For a split second the temperature at the epicenter reached 1 million degrees. 100 feet to my right corpses piled on the river creating a dam of death that stopped the flow of water. The Urakami Cathedral a 1/2 mile down the street collapsed and fell down a hillside. Part of the tower still sits at the bottom.

..2nd day in Nagasaki at the epicenter of the atomic bomb, I don’t think the entire story has ever been told or ever will be comprehended.

The reality hit me seeing the bell tower of the Urakami Cathedral at the bottom of the hill. It once towered on the top of the hill overlooking canal. Toppled like a home made of wooden blocks thrown across a room.

I took some rocks from the grounds of Urakami Church and wrote Love, Peace, Compassion. Took a bunch of rocks home with Japanese writing. An unlikely souvenir that I will always keep.

Friday, June 17th, 2016

..June 2016.. ..New York..

This is the link to Thursday night’s interview about From Above on The John Batchelor Show on WABC Radio. We cover some of my journey to Hiroshima and Nagasaki photographing atomic bomb survivors (hibakusha) and the upcoming exhibition at the Nagasaki Peace Memorial Hall opening in December.

A huge thank you to Mr. Batchelor for having me on the show for the third to speak about From Above. The John Batchelor show is the highest rated radio show in New York at the 9pm time slot. Honored again to be asked back to the show!
