Nagasaki Bombing Episode (Coming Soon)

This episode has been in the works for a while, much requested since Hiroshima gets most of the attention so I visited Nagasaki twice to film this, coordinated with the NPO that works with bombing survivors to share their stories and the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum. I don't think there's anything like this on YouTube and I hope it remains as an educational tool on what happened on the ground in the days that followed. Forgetting history is how it repeats itself. I'm sure I'll get heat from an...

Heading home to Japan from NYC

It’s been a wild ride the last 11 days in the US. Family stuff. Back at it now, long 2am flight from JFK, 5am Haneda arrival and trip to the dentist to repair a slightly cracked molar 🦷 must have been all those roasted almonds! Leo & Kanae are staying with my family as I work, edit and film, return to the US mid July. Inside the wave of cool weather the last 2 weeks in NE USA, now cooler weather in Tokyo - it looks like anyway. Impressed with this Empire express Amtrak train, 180km/h...

Update from the USA, June 11th

We arrived into JFK on time and now in the USA! The jet lag as expected is bad but I've got my computer set up and editing again. POSTCARDS were sent today from Shizuoka - on the way! This month, the MIYAZAKI MANGO AUCTION, those "Taiyo no Tamago" (Egg of the Sun) branded mangoes go for $5000 at auction and I was there for that a few years ago. July's postcard is planned to be sent from the POST OFFICE atop Mt Fuji. I'll be filing with Japan Post at their post office on the top for an episode...
