earth celebration

a while back i wrote a novella about the earth celebration on sado island featuring the kodo drummers and a romanian brass band. i made several friends there including a japanese guy named kei. his english was great; he spent a year studying in australia during college. luckily for me he is also a photographer since i lost my camera while there. he recently mailed me some pics from that weekend...

these are the drummers in action during a fringe event. photography was prohibited during the actual nighttime performances.


a parade the musicians did through ogi village, where the festival was held.



liz and i on the morning after a huge bonfire party that stretched until sunrise.


the beach where we camped with a bunch of other friends.
