Hello,

many of you have visited my web site "Megaperls" in the past and it has become well known around the web over the last four years. We thought it is time to change things a little to make it even more interesting so we changed our name to Japan Exposures - A personal introduction to Japanese photography.

http://www.japanexposures.com

On the front page we produce various content related to Japanese photography, such as reviews of books, gallery shows and profiles/interviews of photographers we know, general articles and essays, but we will also feature photo products and other things such as "legends of the past" where for example we look at the products advertised in Japanese photo magazines from 20-30 years ago and what became of them. We are also hand-picking cover photos by relatively unknown photographers with a visual language that we think may be of interest in the rest of the world. For example we are currently featuring large format photographer Shintaro Sato's Twilight Zone, Tokyo cityscapes shot from emergency staircases. There is a also a weblog with our own day to day postings about being a practicing photographer in Japan.

The web shop you may already be familiar with has been complemented with a book store.

We hope that the site enables us to share some of the excitement we experience as photographers in Japan with the rest of the world and we look forward to your visit, comments and feedback!

Dirk
