The photographs in Tokyo-Yokosuka 1976-1983 started with an early visit to Tokyo on a stopover on my way to Southeast Asia in 1976. After wandering through the city until dawn I decided then and there to try and live in Tokyo. Like many young western visitors at the time I ended up finding a job teaching English, no credentials required. To allow time for taking photographs I kept the work hours to a minimum and explored Tokyo and nearby Yokosuka in my free time. Some of these pictures appeared in the book "In the Near Distance", published by Kominek, Berlin, 2010, though for the most part this is the first dedicated collection of these early Japan photographs.
