I’m happy to announce that I will be in Finland during Sept. 9-18, 2005 as an invited guest at a nature photo festival in a small town called Kuusamo. I am scheduled to give three slide shows on Japanese nature photography. I thank the town of Kuusamo for sponsoring my first trip to Finland.

Also, the Friends of Japanese Culture Society in Helsinki will host a separate slide show that I will give on Sept. 6. I plan to show my pictures and video clips of Japanese festivals. Details here…

In July 2005, I visited Italy for the first time to see the Hiroshima-Nagasaki photo exhibition I co-curated in Genova. I also saw the Venice Biennale where Japanese photographer Miyako Ishiuchi was showing at the Japan Pavilion.
