..June 2010 Nagasaki Peace Museum..

More shots and video preparing for the From Above photo exhibition at the Nagasaki Peace Museum.

We have never had this much help with an installation. Makes me very happy to see the entire museum staff wanting to help and being a part of the project. A lot of hard work and a lot of smiles.

Never had an installation completed so quickly. One day. Helps when you have 8 people unpacking the boxes, unwrapping the frames, hanging wire and frames, going up and down ladders, preparing the text, etc..

Kyodo News, the first interview for the From Above photo exhibition at the Nagasaki Peace Museum.

Little did we realize we were going to be overwhelmed with press requests for a week in Nagasaki. This interview was the first of many.

Preparing for From Above photo exhibition at Nagasaki Peace Museum

..June 2010.. ..Nagasaki..

First day of preparation for the From Above photo exhibition at the Nagasaki Peace Museum.

Biggest thanks to Izumi for the years of support. Many thanks to all the staff at the Nagasaki Peace Museum, the Nagasaki Peace Wing, and Community Media who helped make this happen. Will and Sue, my family in The Kingdom of Gamo.

Not sure if many realize the months of work put into an exhibition like this. Without the big hearts of everyone involved there would be no project or exhibition.

Here is a couple of minutes, from the hours/days of preparing the actual exhibition. The installation is always the toughest part.

Nothing was broken, no one was injured, and I didn’t spill anything.

..June 2010 Nagasaki..

Article written in The Japan Times about the opening of From Above photography exhibition at the Nagasaki Peace Museum.

Ironically the article and photo are twice the size and above a story on the Japanese Prime Minister’s trip to the G20 Summit and the death of Japan’s oldest koala.
