Today I was at Mizonokuchi running some errands. Fortunately I had my camera with me when I saw this dude, probably a teenager, handing out handbills which is one of many popular odd jobs here. He was wearing the most attention grabbing shoes I’ve ever seen, bright pink, and he really was standing out there literally and figuratively. Standing OutFiled ...
I’ve recently been doing a lot of HDRs, but with or without I’ve never really explored the Black & White photography so thought I’d give it a try as well. This is the Yokohama Landmark Tower which is the tallest building (and the 3rd tallest structure) in Japan standing 972 ft and contains 73 floors. It’s a pretty impressive sight, ...
Japan is a truly amazing place. There’s a little bit of everything there; ancient heritage sits side-by-side with the high tech lives, there’s culture, there’s fashion, there excellent food, people are super nice and so damn reserved at the same time, and lots more. And even though these western festivities are recent imports they celebrate them all from the heart. ...
Ground Floor All Floors Japan is famous for notoriously long escalators, and now you know why. This is an escalator found in a mall next to Minatomirai Station, and as you can see it runs three floors with each section at least 30-40m long! So, obviously, I had to take a picture of this. I processed these two photos again ...

However I made a mistake and went to the Yokohama station when in fact I should have headed to the next station to get to the best location for my intended shots. But I didn’t ...
Serenity Again the photography bug caught me last night, so I duly grabbed the camera and headed for Yokohama which is one of my favorite places in Japan. It’s got a little bit of everything; city lights, the sea, the harbor, a whole lot of people with your fair share of foreigners and in general there’s a certain lively buzz ...
Towards… Something Destination could be obscure, but the journey can make it worth it. That’s what this photo is trying to tell me, or at least that’s what I feel. I was at the Tokyo station the other day and was attempting to take three bracketed shots for an HDR here, but accidentally pushed the shutter button and ended up ...
The Old and The New Last weekend was boring; it was raining throughout Saturday and the skies cleared only during the Sunday afternoon. And me being me, spending two days in a row indoors isn’t something I can endure, so in the evening I picked up the camera and headed for the Tokyo station in order to capture some city ...
