A music lover in Tokyo, Japan.
I especially dig blues, New Orleans R&B, and classic rock.

The majority of my contributions are musician photos. I have been photographing musicians for pleasure for the past 30+ years. I have some good collection of photos from the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (which I attended in 1996, 1997, 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2016) and the Long Beach Blues Festival (1985 to 2003), and some photos from Japanese venues as well.

The hard drive in my laptop suddenly went dead in Feb. 2008, and I lost much of my data. Luckily, I had my concert photos backed up onto another disc so they were safe. Digital is so convenient, but so scary as well...

Here are some of my uploads...

•

  Mitsuyoshi Azuma & the Swingin' Boppers, a great jump blues band based in Tokyo. They have been around since 1979. This is from a Jazz Festival in Yokohama in 2001.
