Keirin racing photo essays
Anybody know if any exist? If so, could you point me in the proper direction? That would rock. I ask because I'm moving to Japan (I swear....no matter how many times I change my mind, I'm going), I'm a photographer, I'm looking for a documentary project, and it seems like it could be a cool thing to cover. Think along the lines of old Life and Time magazine B&W reportage.

Yeah....found that too. Cool videos on the first one, though the second doesn't seem to be valid any more.

Try to follow this link to OLD SKOOL TRACK.com https://www.oldskooltrack.com/files/home.frame.html
If it doesnt link, just punch in www.oldskooltrack.com and make your way to the "articles" section and there you'll find an article by a Japanese guy who actually races Keirin, drop him a line and he might be able to help you out.
Good luck,
Peace.

when you get there, if you are ever in the Ropongi district, which, from what I hear, has turned into the stripper 'hood recently, give a shout out to Homat Green Hills or Homat West (sp?). Used to be across the street from the old Soviet Embassy (maybe its still there?) and a haagen-daz. Oh yeah, it was in the shadows of the Tokyo Tower, too.
Spent 6 years there as a lil' un.

Main obstacle is that I need to pay taxes on what I earned in Chicago last year, when I was making enough to live but not enough to live *and* save for taxes. Once that's taken care of, I'm there.
