I am a writer and street photographer living in Tokyo. Born in Tokyo, grew up in Sydney, Australia before returning to Tokyo 30 years ago. Trained as a stage lighting technician then shifted to print, radio and other broadcast journalism. Wrote the pub cookbook Izakaya, on Japanese pub food, with the ambition to present local Japanese people and food culture as everyday phenomena, not something exotic. I want to convey the universal normalcy and strangeness of life in Tokyo.
