Justin Bieber Spotted Kissing Co-Star
Justin Bieber was reportedly spotted locking lips with Jasmine Villegas,16, in the back of a Honda car in Venice, California, by a Canadian tourist.
It's believed that Justin and Jasmine have been dating for a few months, although they have previously insisted they are “just cool friends.”
Jasmine is currently touring with the singer across North America.
News of Justin’s apparent relationship is sure to upset his millions of female fans and means he is no longer free to pursue his celebrity crushes.
The teen music sensation has previously confessed he is infatuated with Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian and Cheryl Cole. He said: “Cheryl and Katy are two of the hottest girls in the world -- and so normal and funny with it.
"If I was a few years older they are the kind of girls I'd like to date. I want a younger version of Cheryl and Katy -- a mixture of the two would be hot."
Speaking about Kim, with whom he recently posed for a photo shoot with in The Bahamas, Justin said: “I think she's cute. And, no, she's not too old for me."

A Few Pictures That Caught My Eye
Like any art fair, Tokyo Photo has a real mix. Many of the big international names are being shown - Eggleston, Friedlander,
Cartier-Bresson, Chris Bucklow - but what interests me are things that seem uniquely Japanese in an original way. And you have to hunt for those. Nevertheless, here are a few things that caught my eye. Above "Form #1" by Miwa Nishimura. Click on the image to see the wigs that have been digitally added to each seagull.
Below: From Sohei Nishino's ongoing series of dioramas done in cities all over the world. It's a painstaking process where he spends weeks photographing the city from many hundreds of different vantage points. Then back in the studio he begins to assemble the individual frames from the contact strips into a collage that takes several months to create. The collage is then photographed and editioned into three sizes.

Two prints from Haruko Nakamura's 19 print series "The Gift from the Sea".
What's selling is sex. Misato Kuroda's series "Sawako".
And last but not least - an early Chicago picture by the master photographer Yasuhiro Ishimoto.
How Cool Is This?
Yesterday, my new friend Mr. Masanori Hashimoto was kind enough to give me the latest version of the Ricoh GR Digital camera. It's a camera with a cult following based on it's lightness, speed, and quality. I've just started to try it out and it seems great, but the coolest thing of all (to me) is a function called "Skew Correct Mode". Turn it on to this mode, take a picture, and the camera looks for an object with four corners which it will then correct the perspective on. If you don't like the four corners it has selected press an arrow and it goes to the next option of a four cornered object. Select "O.K." and the camera instantaneously processes the image to crop and straighten the perspective. For a blogger like me this is heaven!
Here's an example, below. This photograph is on the wall of my hotel room. In "skew" mode it can pick out the whole triptych or just one part. I selected just the middle. Hit the button - and voila! I'm now saying the GR stands for "Gallery Robot". Very Japanese.
The straight shot.
What the camera did to the above shot in "skew" mode!

Tokyo Lecture - The Rules
As a preface to my talk at Tokyo Photo (see below) I articulated four rules that I thought were essential for any young photographer trying to survive.
Here are the rules:
1. Have talent. (Talent is not when your friends tell you they love your work, but when people who don't like you have to admit it's good.)
2. Understand how the world works. (Not just globally, but on a macro level. Understand what people need and don't need. Understand when to approach people and when not to. Develop social skills.)
3. Choose good friends. (There's nothing like an effective network.)
4. Be modern. (Don't do anything that looks like it's someone else's work. Stay on top of technology. Engage on multiple platforms.)

Tokyo Photo - The List
I have been asked by the organizers of Tokyo Photo to engage in a discussion with the famous editor and art director Masanobu Sugatsuke on the subject "How to survive as a photographer on 2010s".
As part of this, I made up a list of 10 different photographers whose careers I felt offered some guidance. Each are relatively new (or at least particularly modern and original) to the photo scene and each have developed incredibly successful careers. So for easy reference, I wanted to post a list on the blog so people could easily reference the names.
In no particular order they are:
Ryan McGinley
The Sartorialist
Massimo Vitali
Juergen Teller
Alec Soth
Richard Learoyd
Idris Khan
Tim Walker
Sze Tsung Leong
Susan Derges
