From One Place To The Next

From One Place To The Next

Hello!

I'm alive...barely.

Why is it that when you get to the end of some long-term goal - in my case, ceasing full-time work - you always get hit with a death cold? It's the evil order of the universe I believe. So after a week of lying on the couch wrapped in a blanket and watching mostly terrible films and a whole lot of HBO series, my excitement level for the move to Tokyo is back up to ridiculous. This is my (extremely short) transitional period, so I really wanted to do a "transitional" blog post. Something that says: I've lived here, now I'm about to live somewhere else, and this is how I feel about it.

I've recently put my hands on two wonderful photographic publications, both of which illustrate a side of living in Japan and Australia that is not always the most obvious. I think these images more or less encapsulate how I really connect to my (now) two homes.

So. Here we have Sydney and regional New South Wales, Australia. Photos are by Mark Trzopek from his publication Trippin'.

And below are some images of residential Tokyo by Julian Gatto and Guillermina Baiguera for Sede magazine.

 

I feel extremely fortunate to be able to travel and live in such inspiring places. Please come and visit soon.
