Up One

In 1989 and 1990, I lived in Taiwan, running a private, in-home English tutoring service for Chinese adults in Hualien.

I did some modeling work in Japan in 1990, so before I left Hong Kong I had a photographer friend take some head shots. Can't remember his name, but he was pretty good.

While in Japan, an old hand hipped me to the highly lucrative world of busking in Tokyo. He, Gerry from Australia, handed off this primo spot to me, a pedestrian-only night area in the heart of Tokyo (near Shinjuku station). I paid the yakuza weekly to "protect" my spot for me.

After returning from Asia, I got all health-food oriented, environmentally conscious and generally politically progressive. Here are a few shots of me and my EX-girlfriend, Nicole, whom I dragged away from New York in attempt to begin a self-sufficient homestead. I never did follow through...and I never will.
