Article: Japan and the Yakuza
I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, am 29 years old, and a graduate of The Evergreen State College. After struggling for two years in the film industry, I made my way to Japan, and have been here for the past five years, writing and teaching. In that time, I have spent most of it in the Fukuoka and Hiroshima areas.
In March, an article of mine appeared in both the print and online versions of Kansai Time Out. Whether or not it is still there I'm not sure, but it may have been archived.

William C. Burns, Jr. (Send comments here)
Poetry: Window Seat
William C. Burns, Jr. (Millennium Artist) phased into existence in Washington DC circa early 1950's putting him on the trailing edge to the beautiful people of the late sixties. Bill is a strange confluence of degreed Electrical and Biomedical Engineer, graphic artist, actor, playwright, poet, father and husband, but his first love is poetry (OK, the kids are more important than poetry, but it runs a close second).
"I am calling for a balance between Art and Engineering, Rhyme and Reason, Yin and Yang. Other than that I like to hike, do set design and act in plays (currently in _Two Gentlemen of Verona_) and drive on the Blueridge Parkway."
William's poetry can be found at these various places

Photography: Inner City Photos
I have been involved in photography on one level or another for the better
part of over 30 years. I first became seriously interested in it in 1972,
when I got my first 35mm camera. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in
Photography, in 1982 from Penn State University. After working in a lab for
a few years, my interest in photography took a back seat to some other
things for a while.
My interest in photography renewed and redoubled itself in 1991, when I took
an eye-opening trip to Oregon for the first time. I had always been
interested in nature and outdoor imagery, along with abstractions and
astrophotography, but at that point I gravitated heavily into specializing
in professional quality, freelance outdoor and nature work. I completely
re-educated myself through books, magazines, the internet(more recently),
and by attending numerous photographic workshops, led by well-known full
time professionals. I also did volunteer assisting at some of them.
Eventually I developed a strong relationship, as student and mentor, with
Robert Glenn Ketchum. His fine art color landscape photography coupled with
an extremely strong environmentalism ethic has become the single biggest
influence and inspiration to me as a photographer. During the same period of
time, I established myself as a part time, professional level freelance
photographer, but only at the point when my work finally began to achieve a
quality level which was on par with what I knew was required for
publication, sale, and large fine art print displays. More recently, I have
dived head first into web design, digital imaging, and computer graphics,
and I am taking classes at the University of the Arts, in Philadelphia, with
the intent of further combining photography with web design and other
digital media.
I currently show and sell large Ilfochrome prints of my nature imagery, as
well as smaller inkjet prints of the Inner City Units works, around the
Philadelphia area, in cafe and coffeeshop galleries, bookstores, and other
venues. I also now critique and mentor other photographers on occasion.
Publication credits include: Astronomy Magazine, Nature Photographer
Magazine, Outdoor California Magazine, Philadelphia Inquirer Sunday
Magazine, Classic Toy Trains Magazine, and others. Future plans include
expanding the scope and exposure of my Inner City Units project, writing
some articles for potential publication, and continuing my travels for
outdoor and nature photographic subjects, along with expanding my marketing
efforts for all my work in general.
Galleries of my outdoor and nature work, my current exhibit imagery and show
schedules, print sales information, as well as some astrophotography,
extensive links, and other information, can be seen on my web site.

Columnist: What's this whale watching about?
Devilfish or Devilwhalers In Baja?
Baja's wondrous gray whales, the "Friendlies"
I am a devoted animal lover and whale watcher. As such, I have traveled (more than once) to Alaska, Baja Mexico, New England, California, British Columbia, Quebec and New Brunswick, and the Caribean to observe the whales and wildlife. So the columns are written from personal experience and from daily literary and InterNet research.
I have gone through several careers in my lifetime -- vagabond bureacrat with the Feds, research and clinical psychologist, and computer scientist in geographic information systems. My formal education led to a Ph.D. in Psychology.
