Some notes on the site: Hitotoki is a literary site I run with a couple of friends (Chris, and Paul) here in Tokyo. A heavily modified Expression Engine powers the backend. Buzztracker is a piece of software I wrote that gathers and maps thousands of news articles a day based on the context of location. I co-run the independent publisher Chin Music Press. My partner is Bruce Rutledge, who lives in Seattle, Washington. Most of the books under the "print" heading are published by us. You can read more about the press and our book making philosophy here. When working on the design or art directing our releases I like to incorporate old — out of print, out of copyright — found materials that are relevant to the text. I think there's something interesting about breathing new life into these old pieces in the context of both modern printing and a modern text. For books, if your time is limited, I suggest heading directly to Kuhaku or Goodbye Madame Butterfly. Over the years I've produced a variety of photo related projects. I treat photography as a skecth book of sorts — allowing me to realize cretain creative itches. I've used photography to document the effects of Parkinson's disease on my grandmother and our family, to capture the hands of a living sushi legend and two subsequent generations of sushi chefs, and to trace a moment in time with famous Philadelphia based dancing Officer Johnson, among many other things. The Meteora photographs were taken of monasteries in central Greece. I'm fascinated by religion and monastic life so seeing these places and the people that live there was the highlight of that trip in 2005. I highly recommend visiting if you find yourself in the country. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me at me_at_craigmod.com. I make every possible attempt to respond to each and every mail that comes in (although sometimes it can take ages — months? — so please be paitent!). Some quick notes on using my photography: My general stance is first: thank you for asking (and not just using!). I am very open about the use of the images in their low-res digital form for non-profit or other creative projects and remixes. I often deny the right to use my work in commercial projects (advertising, promotion, etc). Please don't take offense if you ask and are denied! Prints of all images are available for purchase in limited edition. Price depends on the series. Please contact me if you're interested at me_at_craigmod.com. Cheers. Misc Tomfoolery: |
