"Yoshi told us this about Radiation Inspiration: "These photos were taken in Tokyo, Hiroshima, Chiran & other Japanese locations between 2018 and 2021. Some of the images were taken in Kabukicho where we hung out in Tokyo. Kabukicho is a night spot in Shinjuku where there are so many neon signs it looks exactly like Blade Runner. My compact digital camera has vivid mode. So Kabukicho & vivid mode gave me inspiration to do this project. "I was trying to make images like Cyberpunk Psychedelic Photography. I wanted to create "Incredibly Strange Photography." As I told you in my "The Secrets of Street Photography" zine, I,wanted to become a painter. I have never been satisfied with taking B&W pictures. "always asked myself, 'How can I be a painter with a camera?' "
