A short note about the Tokyo CGM Night 5 (What?! 5 already!？ 早い！) organized by Danny and Andrew. Lot's of stuff on the net already of course as it took places last Monday in a KDDI office. Just check the Danny's article for millions of links directing to billions of photos! (This event is becoming a DSLR contest :) These photos by Jonny Li. Usual suspects were here as new faces which is all good. This night was clearly more OO (Otaku Oriented) with some cos players and idols... Read more

I am sure the DSLR veterans will notice some horrible mistakes though...... Read more

OK, today I am going to hi-jack my own blog for an article with nothing related to Japan nor bicycles! Since May the Fourth (be with you ...muhaha) to the 17th of May, my friend and painter GAëtano exhibits his art in a gallery in Paris. His work is quite unique (yes madam) going from stunning portraits to more enigmatic paintings, I am sure you'll be surprised. To give you an idea, you can visit his homepage gaetano.fr showing his previous work. If you are in Paris or near, don't h... Read more
