I don't do weddings but i had to this one .
The couple are my good friends Scoot and Masayo .
Scott words before the wedding - Lose the tie and take photos . We trust you .
This is the way to get the best work of any photographer ! Freedom to work his magic .
But the best thing was how Masayo handled the ceremony . I never ever have see a bride so calm and cool on the wedding day .
Thank you guys !

Beauty is on the eyes of the viewer ( at least that's what i heard)
But in rare cases beauty is just undeniable .

Japanese girls are always looking for something inside their bags .
Seems this starts from a very young age !!!
Makes me wonder if what they are looking for isn't inside their bags but right in front of their eyes .

"If your photos aren't good enough is because you aren't close enough" Robert Capa .
This isn't the best photo of the century but i got as close as i could with my 18 mm .
It's amazing how japanese peoples usually don't hassle photographer .I hope things keep this way ,
Unlike USA and England where you can get arrested just for pull out a camera in public .

Crossing the busiest intersection in the whole world without bumping in somebody is already hard enough . But this japanese girl seems to have no problem doing it while texting . Multitasking .

After ages without an update ! The king (me ) is back with a self -portrait .This is one of the most photogenic toilet in Japan .
Covered of old pics that varies from old jazz musicians , hardcore bands , pin-ups and local talents .For who have lived in Kanazawa is a easy task to recognize the place ! So how about give it a shot ?
Let me know where it is !!!!!
Btw I got some hate mail about the last photo and my comments about the bloodsuckers Japanese's on their 30's who still live with their parents !!!!
So here is my thoughts about the e-mails i got ( more than 20 ) .
1- This blog is in english , bad english but still . So don't write to me in Kanji ,even better don't write to me at all with if your are a GAIJIN hater . Go out and get a life and move out your parents house .
2 - I love this place . Japan is my second home.
3- YES i have a visa , btw i have a PERMANENT VISA . I could have a japanese passport but i was born in Brazil and i don't want to have to get a visa when i go back to my home country .
4- Hoshida is my family name so you should use your brain and realize i have japanese blood running in my veins .
5- I have a beautiful daughter with a japanese woman , she doesn't live with me but i care for her future and the future of this country way more than you do . Again stop attack me and move out of your parents house , pay your bills , food etc and my comments won't offend you anymore ! Easy .
6- I have no problems with brands , cars and expensive stuff ! Come on , i am a Mac and Nikon user , these brands doesn't come cheap .
My problem is when a person who loves expensive stuff and want it soo bad , need to suck money from his family to get it . Buy your own stuff , it will make you feel better ! Believe me .
7- This is for the guy (girl) who wrote about how well travelled he /she is ,how he/she got a very nice university diploma , How the family doesn't mind about he/she living with them without have to work full time , how exciting he/she life is and how he/she has no shame about live with the family and suck dry all their finances .
If your life is soooo good WHY you wasted minutes of your super exciting life writing to me ??????
WHY you got so offended ?
I got a clue !!!! Bloodsucker baby-boomer on your 30's !
Is easy to be 7 feet tall behind a computer screen on your little room filled of brands clothes , new car , 70 inch tv ,PS 3 and your dream magazines .
I want see if you are brave enough to rent your place ,pay for gas , electricity , car , clothes , traveling without any help from your parents .
I would write more but i have things to do ,coz i live by myself and i have a pile of dirty clothes to wash . It's not easy but independence and freedom have a price and worth it .

Peace

Yuko is a dear friend of mine and an example for this lazy, spoiled and bloody sucker generation of Japanese's . The baby boomers who are on their 30's ,have love for brands , new cars , Anime dolls , video games , get the hair done once a week , expensive restaurants, Full size dolls , never reads a real book ,etc .
But still living with their parents without helping paying the rent or food and all they do is complaining about how good it was before the bubble burst.
I love japanese peoples but this generation will f... up the country .
Anyway let's get back to the caption for this pic :)
Yuko owns a Cafe and restaurant that she had to loan the money to open but she paid it off a while a go .
The place opens for lunch and dinner and closes around 1 am .
During the winter she just do the cafe thing but when spring comes she wakes up and go out fishing in a open sea with her dad almost everyday at 4:30 am !!!!!!!
She does it just to hang around her old men and of course get some real fresh fish for her cafe ! Btw her dad charge half the price for the fish ! Tough !
It's rare to find a young Japanese who is strong and focused like she is these days .
Thx Yuko and dad for let me on the boat and for the patience .

A candid portrait of my good and lovely friend Kaori .
Again the sensor on the Nikon D700 shows how good it is even at iso 6400 .
Of course there is a bit of noise but it looks like grain from the old film times . What i like very much .
