Lost Villages, extended....Bonus Shots

Lost Villages, my exhibition at The Orange Dot Gallery in London, has been extended until September 16th.  It's open 10-6pm every weekday.  If you're interested but can't get along I've put all the photos and some info up HERE.

I had to limit myself to 23 pictures so to compensate I will be posting some extra images from the trip, starting now!

Here are a few portraits from Japan, from baseball loving cowboys to a ship crew at rest and a policeman looking for 'American terrorists' in Sapporo.  Just a few of the amazing people I met along the way, oh and my friend Aki picking wild vegetables around her grandparent's abandoned home.  This is the same location as the photograph I've used in my flyer which comes from the entrance way into their old house.

Lost Villages, the exhibition...

I'm currently back in London choosing photographs for my exhibition Lost Villages, it's happening at The Orange Dot Gallery from 16th - 31st August.  If you want to see old men lifting logs and freaky cats this one's for YOU.

There's a tonne of photos and info on my website http://www.samseager.co.uk/ if you want to find out more.

I'm in Japan!

As it says on the tin I'm in Japan, three months of travelling through remote across the four main islands in search of lost villages and towns.  Places where aging and depopulation has left small communities to slowly fade away.

I'm posting images on my site so if interested head over to www.samseager.co.uk and check out the 'Japan Section'
