Hey guys - i'm Mick - I love Japanese beer and recent discoverer of Bulmers Cider (mmmmmmm mmmmmm)

I'm a pro amateur looking to get a portfolio happening of Music events that I can take to Japan and start doing some stuff there.

I also love urban photography and do that as a hobby - I dont mind the odd wedding either.

My wife Mu, is Japanese and we plan to settle in Japan later in 2008 so we are both trying to build up portfolios of different stuff in Oz.
