A Bartender.

Hi guys.  This is Shoko.

It’s kind of funny that I still talk in English sometimes without talking to someone in the states.  Many people found me asking I’m able to speak English.  Well, I do but it is difficult for me to explain the every directions in Osaka.  I’m new here man.

Okay, I’m a bartender.  It is very different between Japan and U.S.A.  Sometimes, in Osaka is more fancy but anytime it is more casual.  I do not know how to explain this but it is a great experience that I got in talking to many different and special people.  Once I’ve met a guy who owns the graphic design companies.  I talked to him that I’m interested in photography, graphic design, web design and etc.. then he was like ‘wonderful!’, he asked me to help him sometimes photographing models.  (I do not know it will happen or not but better than nothing.  I built the connection by myself, not from my parents!  that’s the most important part.)  And the other day, I’ve met a photographer.  The other day, I met a doc.  I talked to landscaper.  I spoke into an artist.  I had dinner with the owner of two bars.  blah blah blah..  Many people like the night life.  And those people have money  to spend to it.  Because they are ‘succeeded’.  That’s what I want to become.  Well, so it is nice to know many people have different problems in each jobs.  That’s what I need to know also.

Okay, I talked to the guy who is a creative director.  He seems to be a ‘funky’ dude but it was awesome to talk to him.  I had a meeting for a job as a photographer.  It was amazingly surprise to me.. Looks like a great company.  He told me bunch of artists that I know that his company made logos or something else.  So he asked me to shoot people in studio, which I can try.  Only asking how to pose them and click!  It’s not difficult job but I was happy when he mentioned that a pro photographer will be teaching how to do the stuff  ;)  That’s an amazing offer to me.  He told me I passed the first one and I will have the other one in next week.  Wow, I don’t know.  

Very exciting news right?

I should photograph though.  I know I have to grab and click.  But I just cannot think of it now.  Too bad.  My ass is too heavy that someone got to hit it for me.
