I’ve been here in Japan for four days now. It has taken me a few days to adjust to the oppressive heat. Yesterday I went with my extended family to a modern day version of a Japanese onsen (hot spa). There were many types of baths including, green tea, coffee, red pepper, port wine and others. I tried to photograph as much as I could and happened to make a few blunders. (I walked into a women’s only section) I have been photographing my children along with some self-portraits but I am having some kind of creative block. After the last residency at AIB something within me has changed. It’s as though as I’ve lost that “fire in the belly” The only saving grace has been the book titled The Ongoing Moment by Geoff Dyer. It is the antithesis of the critical theory that has become mainstream of grad schools. But I digress. I am going to the heart of Tokyo today in order to find that “fire” which I referenced before.
