Stranger in a Strange Land, Just another day in Paradise, The devil’s advocate. Jack of all trades, master of nothing.

Brian Scott Peterson is a good ol' boy from Tulsa, Oklahoma with a penchant for waking up and drinking the leftover 1/2 drunken glass of red wine from the night before. His heroes include, but not limited to, Babe Ruth, Mony Python, Tom Waits, and Pablo Picasso (with honorable mention to the Dalai Lama and his own sister.) The only thing this circus cowboy really knows is that he knows nothing at all, nevertheless, his eternal quest for enlightenment and the perfect slice of pizza rages on.

For the last 14 years has been photographing the world the way he sees it. For the most recent 4, he has being doing it in Tokyo. For questions, comments, or print inquires contact him at: brian@zokyo.jp

It foundation lies within the Japanese picture card game Hanafuda and the games’s objective of associating images. Hanafuda acts as a platform wherein artists are in constant stimulation by other members and create as a result, inspiring other members within the collective, perpetuating the creative process.
