Gogy is a Massachusetts native and is currently living in NYC. He is a gifted photographer, as well as a barber when he is not shooting. Gogy mainly shoots with a film camera, and his works show his creative and raw talent.</div><div><br /></div><div>I had dinner with him, along with Ephraim and Simon, who is also a correspondent for <a href="http://hypebeast.com/">Hypebeast</a>. We ate at a bbq lamb restaurant and the meat was damn good. Thanks to Ephraim on this! If you want to know where the good eats are in Tokyo, Ephraim's your man. Afterwards, we went out for drinks at <a href="http://www.wegotways.com/kinfolkbicycles/">Kinfolk</a>, where we met some more people; Gérald, Kevin, Pavan and Stefan. It was a good night of good discussions, laughter and smiles.</div><div><br /></div><div>Gogy is in Tokyo for his second solo exhibition at <a href="http://www.lebaron.jp/">Le Baron de Paris</a> for his photo book titled "Lighttime". Please check out his work and website at <a href="http://www.gogy.me">http://www.gogy.me</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for stopping by and i'll catch up with you all soon.</div><div><br /></div><div>Peace.</div><div><br /></div><div>For more photos, click <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/czar17/sets/72157624981370001/">HERE</a>.</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDqx4gtCv1tj3Ir66hW2dlkzO94fzZdbDsz_JTjwV6zanOJE6DD0skCUOqllaYndXAbMPfbMMYB9796GvoHQMaOSiOkLAWmYU1C1KSoPf4YIlgnsCRhpgB0K8MVe6npDv55Moz3evK7Hk/s1600/IMG_3804.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDqx4gtCv1tj3Ir66hW2dlkzO94fzZdbDsz_JTjwV6zanOJE6DD0skCUOqllaYndXAbMPfbMMYB9796GvoHQMaOSiOkLAWmYU1C1KSoPf4YIlgnsCRhpgB0K8MVe6npDv55Moz3evK7Hk/s320/IMG_3804.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525512340413324594" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQa217UdDbWOU34-uBc8vxkc0UC4plANmeq0r0KvIdK7ZTrWCFYWALtbunl5hpG9ECMl70UJLPfCWGyXTmJgf37fT3phKbziHb4uqBe2-mwvv564VzyCmg1dhCy8rqG5ha_dlONfaB6KU/s1600/IMG_3812.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQa217UdDbWOU34-uBc8vxkc0UC4plANmeq0r0KvIdK7ZTrWCFYWALtbunl5hpG9ECMl70UJLPfCWGyXTmJgf37fT3phKbziHb4uqBe2-mwvv564VzyCmg1dhCy8rqG5ha_dlONfaB6KU/s320/IMG_3812.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525512348346776802" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a></div></div><div><br /></div>czr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17834236437348245004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373844747906745452.post-52531980106155592852010-06-23T20:42:00.000-07:002010-06-23T21:04:19.217-07:00Plastic Bags: Gift or Curse?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj3JoOyub3nXd0D13f6JTbFIg1ML5g2O8D0AY9oKuxAXRYV15PgiOWXNapay8c05loD9buJh4SF9lGmhYa0BuBJuG0ZTJtn_LjmbTOrI-2gEg0DXtEN_2wy3xqM0xs6USRyDcDmKufSzs/s1600/plastic_bags.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 236px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj3JoOyub3nXd0D13f6JTbFIg1ML5g2O8D0AY9oKuxAXRYV15PgiOWXNapay8c05loD9buJh4SF9lGmhYa0BuBJuG0ZTJtn_LjmbTOrI-2gEg0DXtEN_2wy3xqM0xs6USRyDcDmKufSzs/s320/plastic_bags.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486180739799216578" /></a>When you pick up groceries or you go to your local convenience store, do you think twice before getting a plastic bag for your goods? When you go to the store and you pick up a bottle of water or gum, do you tell the store clerk you don't need one? Plastic bags are great because they're convenient but we tend to use them a lot. We buy something, gets put into a plastic bag and then it's thrown out. We are conditioned that we don't even think twice about some things that we use and consume. I know it's not a perfect world, but we can make small changes to make it a better one. Try and reuse your plastic bags when you go grocery shopping; use an eco-bag if you have one, or two or three. Try to reduce your waste.<div><br /></div><div>If you are not familiar with the <b>Pacific Gyre</b>, Google it!</div><div><br /></div><div>Like Michael said, "Heal the World, make it a better place."</div><div><br /></div><div>One love.

As I saw the Storm Troopers and an Imperial TIE fighter pilot, I was brought back to my childhood. I got giddy, yeah! So what. LOL. Anyways, i'm glad that I had my 7D with me, so I took several snaps of the Imperial Troops. It was kinda funny though, cuz it was blazing hot that day, but they seemed to be calm and cool, and they even took pics with passerbys. I gotta say, it was a good day.czr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17834236437348245004noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373844747906745452.post-44138165792892893542010-06-03T22:16:00.000-07:002010-06-03T23:09:35.423-07:00Things that we can do to help OUR Earth...Living in Japan over the past year has been great. I've been able to eat healthier due to the abundance of seafood and vegetables. I don't know why, but I never ate as much vegetables when I was living in Vancouver. On the downside though, i've been noticing some habits that the citizens here rarely practice or have not been able to even give a try. I'm about to rant because it seems to be more apparent to me here than when I was in beautiful British Columbia.<br /><br />I've noticed that taxis constantly idle their cars here even while they're waiting for customers. Even when they're talking with their colleagues and hanging outside of their vehicles, their cars are still on. WHY, I ask, WHY!? Another thing too is that businesses, retail, restaurants, whoever, package shit like crazy. Do you really need a bag for your drinks? A tray is not good enough? I know customer service is top notch compared to other world standards, but the usage of plastic and paper consumption needs to be reduced. Carpooling? Does it exist?..... Maybe. But so far I see a good handful of people driving by themselves. You know what? Japan's got a great transportation system; TRAINS. Like i've read in a post, cars are a necessity back home, but is a hobby/ luxury in Japan. Yes transit costs are a bit expensive, but they're so accessible and convenient. These are just some of the pet peeves I have about living here. Yes, yes, they have good recycling programs, but it seems that they consume and waste more than reducing and recycling.<br /><br />We need to educate on a local level. We need to teach our youth and educate them more on reducing, reusing and recycling. Many people of our world are not aware of the global impact that our actions make. I am not perfect in my practices, but I try to make less of an impact on my carbon footprint. I carry an eco-bag (reusuable), a tumbler for my drinks and use my own chopsticks when I can. I rarely drive here and I use mass transit. When I leave a room, I turn off the lights to conserve energy. So i'm basically trying to practice these habits and teaching my family and my friends too. I'm not changing people, i'm just trying to help change habits. We need to be more conscious now than ever. We are in a time where Mother Earth is suffering and if she dies, WE DIE. Get it?? Mother Earth can heal over time and she can be here forever, but we won't if we don't act now.<br /><br />Act locally, think globally. We only have one Earth. Try and do your best to make better practices and choices. Teach others, show others by example. Have you watched "An Inconvenient Truth"? "The 11th Hour"? Reading news about the environment? Are people even aware of some the phenomenons that are happening around the world? There are some weather patterns which are not even normal nor natural. Summer's coming late; Winter's coming early. Let's do this people!<br /><br />I don't know if what i'm saying makes sense, but I do know that it's only a matter of time before something horrible happens, and then people wake up and realize what's happening around them. Get conscious.<br /><br />I'm done for now. I've never done anything like this before on my blog. I've never felt strongly about something such as this before. But living here and seeing it all around me, made an impact on me.<br /><br />I hope what i've said will help others and make them act. Just trying to help the Earth that WE all live on.<br /><br />Here's a link I found from Japan Today.

This year he is defending his title at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver on Jan.28, 2010. If you're in Vancouver, you definitely don't want to miss this party. It was crazy at last year's competition and it's gonna be crazier this year. For the first time this year, 2010, Red Bull will be hosting the championships in Paris. Good luck to all of the participants! Move the crowd!!<br /><br />For P-Luv's interview on Global BC, click <a href="http://www.globaltvbc.com/video/index.html?releasePID=ZJmmAJleQl2uoSE0pC0TE7ZQnu0ZkEc7">HERE</a><br /><br />For information on the Red Bull 3 Style Competition and dates, click <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=268598910089&index=1">HERE</a>czr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17834236437348245004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373844747906745452.post-77646670513073749982010-01-24T21:53:00.000-08:002010-01-24T21:56:43.943-08:00Pharrell Keynote at MIDEM 2010A good listen.<br /><br /><object width="400" height="227"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8935849&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8935849&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="227"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/8935849">Pharrell Keynote at MIDEM 2010</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user883288">thecashmerethinker</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>czr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17834236437348245004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373844747906745452.post-29226931125741930452010-01-18T02:08:00.000-08:002010-01-18T02:18:24.330-08:00The A-Team...I grew up watching this t.v. show back in the late 80's. I always liked and wanted B.A. Barracus' van because it was so cool. I think one of my cousins had the toy van and all of the characters. Jealous I was. Anyways, I hope this will be somewhat of a good remake, unlike some of the other t.v. shows remade to a movie that were released.

I drove by this sign on my way to downtown on Monday afternoon using Clark drive and noticed this East Van cross as I was driving by. (Of course my eyes were on the road.) I felt very proud to see a sign of this size and took a couple of pics of it. Here's a story from Yahoo!

Yes i'm late, but one of my resolutions is to provide you with weekly updates on this blog. I spent my new year with friends and family in Vancouver. Actually on NYE, I chilled out with wifey and my brothers, DJs P-Luv and OMG, at Bar None in Yaletown. We celebrated the new year together and had sandwiches at Duffin's for our after hours hunger. (Is that English??) Anyways, the year has been great so far. Thank you all for a great 2009! I wish you all the best for 2010!! Like Tupac said, "Keep Ya Head Up".

This commercial, which features <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitoshi_Matsumoto">Matsumoto Hitoshi</a> from the TV talk show "Downtown", promotes a snack from Glico called Cratz. It's a mixture of pretzel chunks and whole almonds. It's marketed as an accompaniment with beer. The character he portrays is from a movie he starred in recently called "Shinboru" (the Symbol). I especially like the second half of the commercial.<br /><br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tP6_sj6mYn4&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tP6_sj6mYn4&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object>czr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17834236437348245004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373844747906745452.post-40774782132293569992009-09-21T01:37:00.000-07:002009-09-21T01:48:17.110-07:00鎮座 (Chinza) Dopeness Album Release Party @ Moon Romantic, Aoyama - Sept.15, 2009<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBSXL5U1VmfJgPMi50kXuFbX8CuxYJ8xoK3ajQSnkgiLXjxGWNWQMFDQ7R_E5cKMmcEQ9qRyVWAK298KcpV1jnMbnNQ08FVizIHmSr3mjlPnwgX5uyLlIgC1YCYKR64V11LnYifCAzjDI/s1600-h/IMG_9382.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBSXL5U1VmfJgPMi50kXuFbX8CuxYJ8xoK3ajQSnkgiLXjxGWNWQMFDQ7R_E5cKMmcEQ9qRyVWAK298KcpV1jnMbnNQ08FVizIHmSr3mjlPnwgX5uyLlIgC1YCYKR64V11LnYifCAzjDI/s400/IMG_9382.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383837369117128786" border="0" /></a><br />Chinza Dopeness, one of <a href="http://wktokyolab.com/">W+K Tokyo Lab's</a> latest artist, held an album release party at Moon Romantic in Aoyama.

She is a talented musical artist that plays the piano and the pianica. A couple of friends and I went to go check out her show. I surprised her by just showing up. I haven't seen her since I moved to Japan, and it's been a while since we've seen each other. She was a yoga student in Vancouver, and stayed with my family and I for a month. She's a friend of a friend, and we've kept in touch since. She's currently a yoga instructor in Tokyo. She creates and composes her music, and performs her music at selected venues. Please check her music out at: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/ayamelody">http://www.myspace.com/ayamelody</a><br /><br />For photos, please click <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/czar17/sets/72157622421444230/">HERE</a><br /><br /><object height="364" width="445"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wBY9hyyYXoU&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6&border=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wBY9hyyYXoU&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="333" width="400"></embed></object>czr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17834236437348245004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373844747906745452.post-71741326516913358572009-09-06T19:40:00.000-07:002009-09-06T20:08:56.754-07:00The PlayfaceHello everyone!<br /><br />It's been a long time again. I've been busy working and helping out the <a href="http://www.wktokyo.jp/">W+K</a> team with their project with Playstation. I've been asked to edit the web videos for the <a href="http://www.playface.jp/">Playface</a> campaign. Below is the TV spot which was edited by London's Dayn Williams. Just recently I recorded some video with Takeshi at the Playface event in Odaiba at Mediage. There were some PSP and Playstation 3 setups, as well as the Playface booths where it captured a gamers expressions in 360 degrees with 18 cameras recording simultaneously, like "the Matrix" effect. More information and a detailed description on <a href="http://www.wktokyo.jp/blog/">W+K's blog</a>.<br /><br />Hope everyone enjoyed their summer.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.wktokyo.jp/blog/?p=2021">http://www.wktokyo.jp/blog/?p=2021</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wktokyo.jp/blog/?p=2035">http://www.wktokyo.jp/blog/?p=2035</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0lIzg28RAJqOyxjvvXZYiqAS4fU6a-XIAgUzbdMdlcgRzZHYt0pC-wTCjXjcCspC9U4VCGbSwnNN_93-EZrMQ4nPoNToejt1EEgDpMzXIgbOfECbDxqVlG9mK3eBHg721Ib7BQCNbwHI/s1600-h/IMG_9314.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0lIzg28RAJqOyxjvvXZYiqAS4fU6a-XIAgUzbdMdlcgRzZHYt0pC-wTCjXjcCspC9U4VCGbSwnNN_93-EZrMQ4nPoNToejt1EEgDpMzXIgbOfECbDxqVlG9mK3eBHg721Ib7BQCNbwHI/s400/IMG_9314.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378554488809951106" border="0" /></a><br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9A-MfPfLy80&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9A-MfPfLy80&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object>czr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17834236437348245004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373844747906745452.post-14899591945493202242009-08-16T18:24:00.000-07:002009-08-16T18:45:49.407-07:00Hanabi!Hello all! Hope you've been enjoying your summer holidays.<br /><br />It's been another long minute since i've posted anything, but the past few weeks i've been kinda busy working. Aside from my teaching job at Gaba, I worked with W+K on a Nike project and recently on another Playstation project. Busy, busy, busy....<br /><br />Anyways at the beginning of the month my lady and I, along with her brother and family travelled up to Niigata Prefecture to visit some relatives. Niigata is popular for it's fireworks festivals and I have to agree on that. I've never seen a fireworks display over a landscape. Nothing comparable like the ones I usually see in Vancouver at the Celebration of Lights. You be the judge of it. Below is a video I took of the finalé and I had to pan a lot because my lens was not wide enough to catch the whole landscape.<br /><br />Enjoy!!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwiuGVKPm6gfQWPk14fuiqI2pQUauwWs8lUQpsWnocByjdwTbklAx6KDC4GsB-fiwELbV4qF6WoINYCrk4z2Q' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>czr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17834236437348245004noreply@blogger.com0
