TokyoLand is on the move. We can't stand in the way of progress, or of change. The web address of this blog is changing as I'm going to be hosting it as part of my own main website now instead of as part of Google's Blogger.
The new address for my TokyoLand blog is http://blog.jeremysuttonhibbert.com/
This current site will remain, but no further posts will take place here as of now.
Apologies to all those who may wish to or need to change links/bookmarks etc. But hopefully the new site will bring you a brighter better blog. Thanks.

Exhibition in Edinburgh, Scotland.
If you're in Edinburgh, Scotland, between now and the 19th April then try and visit the National Gallery of Scotland, and there you can see one of my gypsy images, from 1994, in an exhibtion called "25 Years of Photography, Celebrating the Anniversary of the National Collection".
On show are 27 images by 26 photographers, and as well as myself there is work by Thomas Annan, David Octavius Hill, Roger Mayne, Patricia Macdonald, George Rodgers and Calum Colvin and others.
From the gallery website:
'This small exhibition is designed to show some of the wealth of Scottish photography - both historic and modern - collected for the nation in the last twenty-five years.
The Scottish National Photography Collection was set up by the National Galleries of Scotland in 1984, in recognition of the impressive Scottish contribution to the art. It has been designed to collect, research, exhibit and publish on photography, with a Scottish bias to its energies.
From the wealth of the Collection, photographs have been selected under three broad headings of 'People', 'Land and Stone', and 'Staged and Constructed' to illustrate the remarkable work of the first quarter-century.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a conference on 28 March, when the newly-revised edition of The Companion Guide to Photography in the National Galleries of Scotland will be published'.

'Paradise Lost- Illegal Logging in PNG' folio
Entering the Leica Oskar Barnack Award is easier than ever this year, with online uploading of images and very clear instructions. It makes a difference and saves me time, beats the old way of sending prints etc in the post.
Also, new this year is the fact that you can view all entrants portfolios, which is an enjoyable way to peruse those you're competing against, and also, just to enjoy some great photography.
You can view my humble entry here, images from my recent trip to PNG; Paradise Lost- Illegal Logging in Papua New Guinea.
And a second way of perusing great photography is to visit the new website of the classy Mare magazine in Germany, and their database of all photographers who have worked for them, with links to some great work.

Shoko Tendo, same pictures, different magazine.
It's always fascinating when you have a set of images which get used repeatedly as to how different art directors edit the images and lay them out. Above is another recent spread of the Shoko Tendo/ Yakuza Moon series, and to see the full series go here to my archive.

Wales.
2.01am, and I just finish sending images from an assignment to the client. Bit of a late night. To wind down, I flick through some blogs, looking at pics, just looking. And I come across One of Editions. Don't think I've ever seen so many Welsh photographers in one place before.
