My first purikura on Phozi

I just discovered Purikura on the SHOWstudio website and not having a photobooth nearby felt cheated in not being able to try the idea out. But googling purikura, I found a website that allowed you to mimic the idea with your own photos.
Purikura is an extraordinary form of self-portraiture which is reviving the practice of amateur print photography and creating a new genre of image-making with it. Deriving from a truncated Japanese translation of 'Print Club', Purinto Kurabu, the term Purikura refers to the photographic culture surrounding the modified 'Photo-Me'-style photo booths introduced to Japanese malls and amusement arcades by gaming companies ATLUS and SEGA in 1995.

Its a developing "art form" with some cool images coming out of a sea of Kitsch! I am going to keep an eye on it and maybe incorporate elements in some of my own photography, especially in fashion.

A month in Mozambique

I have recently returned from a month in Mozambique. We spent most of our time in Maputo, staying at the famous Hotel Polana

and spent many days walking around the town


interspersed with day trips to Macaneta


and a four day stay on Inhaca Island,


all of which you can see in the slideshow.
