  Dr. Scholz — Kamishibai Photography is a global practice of documentary and narrative photography inspired by Japanese paper theater (Kamishibai) and shadow play . It explores human presence in public and semi-public spaces across Canada, the United States, Korea, Japan, and other urban environments. The work focuses on people, movement, and behaviour, while also highlighting the traces they leave behind : objects, pathways, gestures, and the subtle imprints of human activity. Subjects are engaged through playful interaction, sometimes directly responding to the camera, producing a “quantum effect” in which the observer subtly alters the environment. A defining feature of this style is temporal storytelling . Sequential images of the same subject, object, or environment, taken over months or years, create evolving narratives that capture change, continuity, and the passage of life. Each photograph acts as a frame in a larger story, echoing the episodic, sequential format of K...

  Human Presence Street Photography is an international project focused on people and the environments they inhabit. I work across Canada, the United States, Korea, Japan, and wherever public life unfolds. My photography centres on people — not only their visible faces but also their movement, posture, habits, interactions, and the marks they leave behind. Airports, beaches, transit hubs, markets, alleyways, stations, and city cores become sites where human behaviour reveals itself naturally. I’m drawn to the moments where individuals and crowds shape a space: the way they gather, separate, pause, leave objects behind, or imprint their rhythm on the environment. Direct human presence, indirect presence, and environmental presence are all part of one continuous human story. The name EDO MUNDO reflects a gateway between places and times. Each image is a threshold — connecting cities, cultures, and the flow of people through them. My work extends street photography beyond one lo...

Bond on Philosophy: Four Areas of Maximum Risk They say philosophy is boring. I say it’s dangerous — and I like danger. Especially the kind that comes with a punchline. Let’s start with metaphysics. I once asked myself, “Does anything actually exist, or is this just a very elaborate practical joke?” Aristotle had a fancy word for it: “substance” (Aristotle, 1984). Personally, I’ve decided the only substance that matters is the one I can spill on my tie without ruining the audience’s laughter. In one universe, metaphysics makes sense. In this one, it’s just an excuse for people to nod while secretly checking TikTok. Then there’s epistemology — the science of knowing things. Plato thought knowledge was “justified true belief” (Plato, 1997). That’s cute. I know my jokes are funny. I’m justified, the audience is laughing… mostly. True? Debatable. Belief? Half the people in the front row worship me; the back row is Googling “how to sue for emotional damage.” Epistemology, as I see it, is...
