Kozushima

One of the Izu Shoto islands and only a couple hundred km from Tokyo Kozushima is much larger than some of it's neighbours but with only 1900 people and rising towards a scarred and barren volcano it feels remote and dominated both by geology and the ocean that surrounds it.

I camped there for a couple days and found virtually deserted hamlets filled with one eyed cats, incredible sashimi and two rival supermarkets competing for the limited business.

Interesting place to visit.

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.
