Sunday again and for this first Shutterbug Sunday for August, we’re off to Japan to meet John Lander or Asian Images.
As a 20 year resident of Japan, John finds the textures of Tokyo to be an always interesting and intriguing exercise in juxtaposition: chrome high rises side by side with ramshackle wooden noodle shops; Granny in exquisite kimono on the subway sitting next to Goth costume players – neither batting an eyelash as to the incongruity of it all.

On work, John states,
I occasionally write feature articles for travel magazines and Sunday travel sections in newspapers. I am expected to turn in accompany photos with text to editors, though in recent years the writing seems to get in the way of photography. After all, it is two different jobs so I have been trying to let the writing side fall by the wayside…
Thanks for tuning in to another Shutterbug Sunday. There’s a big news announcement coming tomorrow so don’t miss it.

Craig Ferguson Images | Cultural Photography. One of the key aspects of life that we humans identify with is culture. We label people, places and events according to our ideas of what they are, ranging from the broader scale defined by tradition and place down to the small scale subcultures and tribes. Craig Ferguson Images is consistantly creating new visions in the field of cultural photography. From traditional festives and customs to modern, urban subcultures, Craig Ferguson Images is in touch with the changing world. From our base in Taipei, Taiwan we are perfectly positioned at the crossroads of the ancient and the modern.
