My copy for Fumio Nabata's 'Be Loved' exhibition, NY.

My copy, title and titling for photographer Fumio Nabata's NY exhibition 'Be Loved'.
"The happiness felt by many seeing children’s innocent smiles, watching them grow up, their countenance when they are absorbed in what they are interested in, and their vivid expressions when they challenge themselves with a new, adventurous thing; Mr. Nabata is deeply moved by these very young minds that are unconsciously growing up day by day. Deriving inspiration from all these things, these delightful moments make us realize what is really valuable and inspires Mr. Nabata to try and capture them.

New lives are born, are watched over and grow up through the culturally important and colorful seasons of Japan, and some unique seasonal events and festivities of Japan are exhibited in Mr. Nabata’s photos here.

GREAT stuff

This is a really, really, really great article! I hope it spreads everywhere in the business world, would make things a lot easier for everyone frankly....
"Some business owners try to economise by doing their own designing, copywriting, etc. But without the required specialist skills, those amateur efforts only project a business image that is, well, amateurish.
Put simply, a professional result begins with a professional touch.
Eventually, that kitchen table logo and copy will have to be changed, so why not project an impressive image right from the start?"
