S - HAPPY 26TH BIRTHDAY VANESSA!

Posted by Nicole (Komono, Japan) on 22 July 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

For my friend Vanessa's Birthday, I decided to try out a photo project idea that I've had for a while. The basic idea is that I called up / e-mailed all of Vanessa's friends that I knew and a few that I didn't and got them to cooperate in this photo project. Each person got to choose a letter or number from the words HAPPY 26TH BIRTHDAY VANESSA! and take a picture with that letter. I then printed all the photos and pasted them to little boards and had the people in the picture write a message on the back. All of these boards were later bound into a book and given to Vanessa on her birthday... If you think this is hard to understand try explaining it in Japanese about 20 times ;D

This S features *Sam*

Sam is our local Chicago native English teacher and Rock drummer / singer extraordinaire. Sam has yet to be in Japan a year and already has found his little niche and continues to impress us with his creativity. It's always fun seeing Japan through Sam's fresh eyes. Here for example you can see Sam experiencing his first hot spring foot bath. The verdict? HOT!!!

Thanks for participating Sam!
