Phil is in a fix and has only 6 days to pay the equivalent of £1,000 in yen; he went through a red light when jet-lagged shortly after his arrival in Japan last month. (No injuries, no damage to their vehicle). I'm taking a lead from the Guardian newspaper, who regularly seek financial help from their readers, and asking the same of Phil's followers. Like most artists, he earns little from his photography compared to the dedication that goes into producing his completed works. Good art can't be valued in monetary terms but if you have enjoyed his work over the years please consider donating just a little something towards his bill.
