"Each night, at just about 8 p.m., Toshi Makihara descends into the basement of his Wyndmoor home. He sets his Panasonic digital video camera on a small tripod on a table next to an old IBM computer, hits "record" and steps into frame. Over his left shoulder is a set of shelves holding a variety of drums. Over his right shoulder can be glimpsed a water heater, washer and dryer. In front of him is a single green drum." MORE

*Full disclosure: My mom is Canadian, born and raised in the small town of Belleville Ontario. I'm not into the band's name, since none of them are Canadian. However, the guys are really nice...

Great portraits, Michael!
I'm so sorry to hear that your position was eliminated. Your work at City Paper has always jumped off the pages. We will miss your artistry.
But best wishes with the future. It's an opportunity and I know one that you'll make the most out of.
Thx Eric...Your words mean a lot to me...
