It's a stinky sweaty day here in downtown Tokyo - I think I can hear the sounds of another thunderstorm rolling in. I'm working feverishly on 3 different projects - 2 of them with deadlines tomorrow - one being the Biz NITE event, kicking off at 6 pm, the other being the photo book I've been collaborating on with Kate E Deeming.

The other project has no specific deadline but I am just so excited about it that I have to have a little play on it today. I did a photo shoot with opera singer Akiko Otao on Friday, in collaboration with the team at Mint Salon, and it was SO MUCH FUN and gawd we got some great photos.

Actually, I have a 4th project in the works, too - started it last Sunday, but it is way less demanding and has no specific production deadlines.... I've started taking "a photo a day" (to make sure the new job doesn't keep me away from my camera too much), and will be posting them here and up at Flickr from Tuesday (once all these deadlines pass...)

Anyway, we are in need of some more volunteers to help us make Mondays event (all all our other events) run really smoothly, so if you're interested in helping out, please fill in the following form. Actually now is a great time to praise the delights of Google Doc's which is amazing for working collaboratively from the web. For example, this form will feed automatically to the database spreadsheet I've set up, and I receive a notification every time it gets updated. Printable too. AWESOME!
