officially titled "sakura hadouken"
but i got around something that i shouldve been doing years ago yesterday
I always went to bookstores to read while i was in the book store
because im cheap and not at all interested in reading at home
but due to extreme boredom
i bought three books yesterday
1) tao of photography
2) how to be a gentleman
3) art and artifice: japanese photographs of the meiji era
they arent considered the hardest or most intellectual read
but its a start right? 
it feels like its going to develop into a good habit this summer
im even thinking about buying a book case
i also got the chance to meet mark dacascos and photograph him for an interview with the international examiner (or asian weekly?)
the current host and chairman of Iron Chef America and one of the best martial artist actors along with Jet Li (go ahead, type his name into youtube)
mark played in “Double Dragon”, “Legend of Bruce Lee”, “Only the Strong”, “Cradle to the Grave”, and hella more
having the opportunity to meet and photograph him is still settling in

Dear Artist in Transition,
The Tao of Photography sounds like a very useful book – and with a dash of gentlemanly traits, I’m sure you’ll go far.
I love your photos of Mark D – and I highly recommend you try getting your hands on his “Crying Freeman”, “Brotherhood of the Wolf” and “Drive”. His TV series “Cros: Stairway to Haeven” ian’t half bad either.
I would love to put some of your Dacascos photos on my website – please contact me if you’re interested.

ps Mark wasn’t in “Legend of Bruce Lee”.
thank you! i will look into those
and youre welcome to use any of the photos you like for your website
do you have an email i can send you specific copies to?
i also thought he was the thai fighter in the legend of bruce lee? maybe it was a cut scene.
You’re right!
I was thinking of the movie starring Jason Scott Lee. Yes, indeed Mark was in the recent TV series, playing a muay thai fighter. My only excuse is that I actually never saw the series as it hasn’t aired in my neck of the woods.
As owner of the wordpress account, can’t you see the emails that comemnters enter? If not, my email is listed on the main page of dacascosfan.com
I would love to show any and all of the photos you took, and I would of course credit you and link if you’re interested.
