Just got back from two weeks in Japan. Shot a whole bunch of film.

I’ve just posted some over at trip35.net

Nothing blog-worthy happening this week so I thought I’d dig out some old pics from our time in New York last year.

We were really keen to stay in Brooklyn but not knowing much about the area we sub-let an apartment in an suburb called Bed-Stuy. We later found out that it was a pretty notorious neighborhood - we had to walk past the public housing complex  where Jay-Z grew up (and shot his brother when he was 12) to get to the subway.

We were also just around the corner from where Dave Chapelle’s Block Party was filmed.

Anyway, we survived. And we got to see a part of New York that we would have missed if we were staying in Manhattan.

The best thing about the apartment building was the rooftop looking over the river to Manhattan - we spent a bit of time up there. PJ Harvey’s You Said Something was constantly in our heads.
