Andy Warhol: His Works, Idea and Process is currently on at the Parco Museum in Shibuya, with works lent by The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. The exhibition features a surprising number of polaroids, including four self-portraits in drag (looking suspiciously like an aging Candy Darling), as well as candid snapshots of celebrities such as Keith Haring, Francesco Clemente, Jean-Michel Basquiat, William S Burroughs, Liza Minelli and Dennis Hopper. Until 30 June.

Two new arrivals in my mailbox from Amazon: The History of Japanese Photography by Anne Tucker, the exhibition catalogue accompanying the show of the same name which was originally held at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (2 March - 27 April 2003) and is currently at the Cleveland Museum of Art (Until 27 July). This book is the first authorative guide to historical and contemporary Japanese photography ever to be published in English. I'm very much looking forward to dipping in and out of this book (it's huge!), so I hope to post some of my discoveries here in coming months.

The second addition to my library is Adobe Photoshop 7.0 for Photographers. While I've been using Photoshop for more than seven years, I felt that I could really benefit from overhauling what I already know, specifically from a photographer's perspective. If any readers have other recommendations on Photoshop books for photography, please let me know. Others I am considering include The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers and Real World Adobe Photoshop 7.
