+Ivan Makarov is putting out the call for the next Plus One charity effort, this time a photo magazine. Anyone can submit an entry, and details are here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/106711803105103787711/posts/SwKc9CJEGr3
The theme is architecture. To be honest, I haven't taken that many architecture shots before even though Tokyo offers some fantastic opportunities for such types of photography. Since I'm traveling in a few days and will be away for a couple of weeks, I just picked the first building that came to mind (the Tokyo International Forum) and took a few shots this afternoon with the result you see below.
It's already been uploaded to the #plusoneissue1 album on SmugMug here: http://plusonemagazine.smugmug.com/Other/issue1/22992178_G2FCZS#!i=1855116102&k=2cVM6bs
There are lots of fantastic entries already submitted, check them out when you have the chance! I believe voting on the photos will start from next week, so be sure to keep up with Ivan's posts.

Nice compo. I like the bright afternoon light.
I agree with +Hidehiko Sakashita ! Esp. great is the contrast between warm/cold, which is the opposite in the lower part of the image! Well captured.
HOLY leading lines! This is insanity I love it!
A great photo of a really cool building. The red light switching sides is excellent! Almost hyperbolic… http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=sinh%28-x%29+from+-5+to+5
This is deep! Nice framing +Jeff Matsuya
Great job!! I hope your pic will be included in the magazine!!
Thank you +Hidehiko Sakashita , I was lucky that yesterday was nice weather! (^^;
+Nimar Blu thanks! This shot was more by luck than planning – I just happened to get there at a point when the setting sun was angled just right to come in on the left and hit the middle right part of TIF (^^)
+Jeff Tamagini , thanks! TIF is full of such lines
Thanks, and that is a very cool link +Jonas Neergaard-Nielsen ! Math (and its variants) tend to freeze my brain but it's pretty cool that you can use WA for that.
Thank you senor +andrew holian !
Thank you +Hidetaka Onoyama ! It would be cool to be accepted, but there are many great submissions so we will see. I was hoping to go around and find more things to shoot, but unfortunately I have gotten sick so I'm trying to recover quickly before my trip..
What about you? I hope you can submit something too?
Completely insane capture! The architecture you took is simply brilliant, kind of gives a little abstract feel to it xD
+Jeff Matsuya My pleasure! The level of submission is really high. I can not find my pics for it. If I will try some post processing and succeed it, I will submit my pic. Anyway enjoy your trip!
that's really awesome. now i want a wide angle lens too
Fantastic shot.
Thanks +Scott Thames and +Jeff Austin !
+Hidetaka Onoyama thank you, and I hope you get a photo that you are satisfied with
+Shereen Yeoh , this was actually the 10-24mm lens on my D90 – I rented this lens just to play around with
It's not bad, but not really a "walk-around" lens due to the massive distortion. Still, for this purpose, it served well
complex structures !!
superb
Magnifique Jeff ! Bonne chance pour ce projet !

Great shot +Jeff Matsuya! Everything is so symmetrical and well composed. It also makes me feel like I didn't properly take advantage of the area while I was there. he he. ;-P
