Photobetty is an online 'zine focusing on women in photography, with single image galleries and portfolios. Unfortunately, this interesting site doesn't appear to have been updated since late last year.

Jeanne Hilary's Gentleman, where are you going is a visually stunning flash gallery documenting the artist's first time visit to Calcutta, Dehli, Varanasi, Agra and Bombay.

Rotterdam-based photographer Ari Versluis and stylist Ellie Uyttenbroek share an interest in the dress codes of different social groups and have systematically documented numerous identities over the last eight years in this striking photographic study, Exactitudes (via thingsmagazine.net).

Yet another innovatively designed flash site, Jorn Tomter's portfolio features beautiful colour travel photography (via 990000).

Yuko Ogura provides an unusual solution to the Tokyo map challenge: she photographs the journey made on foot from Daitabashi Station on the Keio Line in Tokyo to the Nanba Gallery, documenting all of the visual landmarks and reference points passed along the way. Those living outside Japan may not be aware that Japanese streets are not usually named (unless they are major ones), and directions usually consist of "turn right at the big red house" or "go over the bridge past the convenience store, and take the first small alley opposite the double mirrors".

One of my daily reads from the Japan blogging community, nej: Digital diaries from the Tokyo front aka Jean Snow, posted about esthet today. Another of my frequent reads, consumptive, also favourably commented on 19 April (archive link not working) about my site's official launch. Thanks for your support, Jean and James, and welcome to new readers visiting from their sites!

The Cross Atlantic Report has been updated with the February and March media report with photos and videos by Frederic Bonn, Zoe Deleu, Julien Donada and Gregoire Romefort. The calendar view gives access to the individual works by each photographer.

Junichi Sato gives a skewed perspective of life in Tokyo. The train images are particularly disorienting.
