The Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for Atomic Bomb Victims will
be permanently exhibiting 15 portraits that I took of Nagasaki atomic
bomb survivors.
These are part of the From Above project which features portraits of atomic bomb survivors and WWII firebombing survivors.
I’m very proud these portraits will be displayed permanently at Nagasaki Peace Memorial Hall for all the visitors to see. The Peace Memorial Hall is attached to the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum.
From Above will be exhibited at Gallery EF in Tokyo, March 11th-April 2nd, 2018.
This From Above exhibition corresponds with the 73rd anniversary of the Tokyo fire bombings that destroyed the city during WWII. It features portraits of firebombing survivors from Tokyo, and other WWII fire bombing survivors from Dresden, Coventry, Rotterdam and Wielun. A small selection of atomic bomb survivor portraits will also be shown to display all the areas that From Above has focused on.
Gallery EF is where the From Above project was conceived in 2008 and first exhibited in 2009. It is the project’s spiritual home.
From Above has been exhibited at Gallery EF several times but hasn’t returned in a couple of years. So there are plenty of new portraits that will be shown for the first time.

Preparing prints for the From Above exhibition opening on December 9th at the Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims. There will be a question and answer session about the development of the project beginning at 11am. The exhibition features portraits of atomic bomb survivors from Nagasaki.
I will also be teaching photo workshops on December 9th and 10th concentrating on the use of photography and art to promote peace. Anyone who wants to attend the photo workshops has to sign up in advance to reserve a place. There is no admission fee. Anyone with a camera or cell phone camera can attend.
The project was exhibited in Nagasaki last year but there are plenty of new portraits that will be shown of hibkauhsa (atomic bomb survivors) I photographed during last year’s trip— with Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims in Nagasaki, Nagasaki.
The exhibition is open from December 9th-16th.
A few From Above limited edition books, which features portraits of atomic bomb and firebombing survivors from WWII, will be released for the exhibition. They are only available at http://www.photoeye.com/bookstore/citation.cfm?catalog=I1040&i&i2 or at the venue.
Preparing a list of portraits for the upcoming From Above exhibition at the Nagasaki Peace Memorial Hal for Atomic Bomb Victims opening on December 9th.
Hanging a small selection of prints with Rose from my project “Embrace.” Embrace is an on-going project photographing transgender, intersex and gender non-binary people from across the world. To date, the project includes people from America, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Scotland and Japan.
Even though the project is still in it’s early stages this was an opportunity to show a few of the portraitsat the Ocean Heights Presbyterian Church in Egg Harbor Twp, New Jersey from August 20th-September 17th. And more importantly to have a discussion how people with gender identities outside of the traditional categories are not confined to one country, culture or age group. The project will not be complete for another year. With portraits scheduled in Europe and Japan, it will be an exciting autumn.
I look forward to eventually exhibiting every portrait which was taken in the project once it is complete.
Hanging the From Above exhibition at the TENRI Cultural Institute of NYC.
The exhibition runs from August 2nd-15th and is located at 46 West 13th St., New YOrk. More information about the venue hours can be found at www.TENRI.org
Day after Christmas, the From Above exhibition has ended. Thank you to the Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for Atomic Bomb Victims for the great opportunity to show my hibakusha (atomic bomb survivor) portraits.
