Skate Fatale
The grinding of ball bearings and the dud-dud-dud sound of rubber against a polished wooden floor means one thing: roller derby. Tonight was Skate Fatale, with the CRDL Vice City Rollers against VRDL All Stars.

More Film Photos

Today in Tokyo
Okay so my trip to Tokyo was becoming a mixed affair. I was spending most of my time with another traveler, a Portuguese fellow named Gonçalo, who was spending the last days of his trip in Tokyo as well. The shopping here for toys and related stuff was overall much better. The food was good.…

Hiroshima
Hiroshima is a place that echoes the end of the war in the Pacific and the beginning of the cold war and threat of nuclear annihilation. The museums and the monuments all bespeak this. But this is only where those monuments are. If you walk around the city, you would hardly have guessed that none…

Zine Fair Photos
Okay so I’ve been busy running around with Elmo for nearly a week, so posts were few and far between. Below are the photos I took during my time at the zine fair. I think I got most of the day and the tables there.
