Animal Arithmetic - Jonsi

Wake up, comb my hair
Making food disappear
Riding bikes, making out
Elephants swimming down

You and I run away
Brushing ticks, so we must
Cover full of fireworks

Every time, everyone, everything's full of life
Everyday, everywhere, people are so alive

We should all be (Oh Oh Oh) alive!
We should all be (Oh Oh Oh) alive!

Ive listened to Beach House too much.
I cant keep listening to the Beach Coast album for much longer. The back lash against her cat will start.
The new arcade fire isnt so exciting.
Its a Jonsi summer for me.
Its fucking hot in Tokyo.

JayZ Upclose

My favourite photos I took this summer are of JayZ. Its another level.

Look who is a photographer now

In the true spirit of being a total amateur I have started taking live photos. This involves taking about a million photos of the same band on the highest ISO know to The Canon G10 and then tweaking in iphoto. Currently my crack code for photoshop is not working.

Anyways I have had some photos publish in Rockin On (equivalent of the NME), Metropolis (English Magazine in Tokyo), Elle Girl and Nylon Japan.

Here are some of them below.

I go under Hagino Tiger for my photography work.

MIA photobooth and Shaving Hair

For what seems a small life time I have been working on a photobooth for MIAs new album in Tokyo. Here are lots of photos from the party and days at tower records. http://mia-japan.tumblr.com/ Even Maya herself liked them and gave us a twitter. Wonder when it all changed... I was pretty happy that she twittered the site for us.

Also I got an undercut the other day.
