Say hello to frizzy hair! In Tokyo, we are now a week or two into rainy season, my least favourite time of year. For photographers and videographers who like to shoot street scenes using natural light, that means there are 6 weeks from early June to late July where we can expect rain 80% of the time!! So get in quick if you see a few rays of light between now and the end of July.

Michael Lovitt's site features a great selection of images shot in the rain at night in Austin, Texas. His work appeared in Issue 4 of 28mm.org.

No Rules Street Photography encourages image making which breaks all the normal rules of photography, particularly in inclement weather.

Ningen.com contributor Shuhei took a recent trip to Egypt, photographing himself in many of the locations he visited.

Inspired by David Hockney's photocollages, Phineas Jones of No Commercial Potential has created a series of interesting photocollage works taken in New York and Chicago (via artkrush).

More night photography on The Nocturnes. Troy Paiva, whose new book, Lost America, has just been published, explains how to shoot successfully at night and what equipment is needed (via a photo a day).

Today I received another wonderful new addition to my photography library: British-born Fergus Greer's photographic homage to an inimitable Australian performance artist and fashion designer extraordinaire, Leigh Bowery Looks, features 300 previously unpublished photographs of Bowery taken over the period from 1988 until the artist's death in 1994. An exhibition of this work was held at the ICA in London last year. Highly recommended for fans of this uniquely gifted artist and extraordinary personality.

Nick Knight, a highly influential fashion photographer, has shot both Yohji Yamamoto's fashion (currently on exhibition at the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art in Shinagawa) and Leigh Bowery's performed personae.
