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.
A recent article appearing in the Tokyo Shimbun about Hibakusha Ms. Hisayo Yamashita speaking at Gallery EF.
She will be speaking about her experiences surviving the atomic bomb in Hiroshima at Gallery EF on October 2nd and 3rd. If your in Tokyo please stop by.
The English translation will start about half way through video, around 2 minutes 30 seconds.
If your in Tokyo on October 2nd or 3rd, please come hear Ms. Hisayo Yamashita speak at Gallery EF in Asakusa. I was lucky to have photographed her for my From Above exhibition earlier this year.
