Tokyo Street Lights

I have more time to go though my photos now that I`m taking some time off to spend with visiting family.  Actually just came back from an overnight trip, and drove back through the city.  Since I`m not a frequent driver (owning a car is not really necessary for daily life in Tokyo), it`s always with some trepidation that I get behind the wheel on Tokyo streets.

Still, we made it in one piece, lived to drive another day (^^;

Hana

I played around with the filters in Nik Color Efex for this shot – not something I usually do, but I was having fun.  🙂

Anyone know what kind of flower it is?  

Good night from Tokyo!

Walking the straight and narrow

A common sight on the streets of Ginza on a weekend.  However, this weekend may see fewer pedestrians out and about with the typhoon Man-yi heading our way.

Looks like tomorrow may be a good day to stay home!

Mirror vision

I posted an image of a butterfly a little while back – this was taken right after the butterfly fluttered off.  In fact, if you look really carefully, you can see him/her on the ground.  🙂

Decisions, decisions

Tokyo's ubiquitous vending machines offer a myriad of choices -, even the act of choosing something to drink can sometimes give one a moment to pause.

Docodemo Door?

I was so curious as to who actually lived here.. do they actually use this door?  Or does it serve as the home's "emergency exit"?  A "treehouse" equivalent in a verdure-challenged city?  I think it's more fun to wonder than to actually know the reality.  🙂

Moth Skipper

Yes, just a photo of a -moth- skipper butterfly 😛

Taken just before joining the D&C group on Saturday, unfortunately rather low quality since I didn't have my macro lens on my D800 and had to take this with the X10.

Still, the little guy (girl?) is kinda cute.  🙂

G'night from Tokyo!

Settings: X10 on super macro mode / f2 / ISO100 / 1/125s

Good friend and talented photAgrapher +andrew gram has an exhibition running in Shinjuku until Wednesday!

I've had the chance to shoot alongside Andrew a number of times and I'm always impressed at how he manages to extract something interesting out of the seemingly mundane.

If you have interest in B/W, Street, or Tokyo photography in general, his exhibition is well worth a look.

My Exhibition – Tokyo Street – ???
A year ago I applied to a gallery in Tokyo for the opportunity to exhibit my photos. I submitted about 40 photos from a personal project I did on shadows in Shinjuku. I wasn't expecting to be accepted, but I was pleasantly surprised when I got a letter from the gallery with an official date for my exhibition. 

The exhibition will be more than 40 monochrome prints of Tokyo street photography. Some of the photos you may have seen but many of the photos will be brand-spanking-new.

Doing a solo exhibition like this has been a test of my confidence and character but I believe it is good to have a project with a deadline. They keep you honest!

See the details below. I hope you can stop by!

???????????????????????

Entrance is FREE
Date: 8/22 – 8/28 (CLOSED on Sunday)
Time: 10:00am – 6:00pm (Wednesday ends at 3:00pm)
Address: 1-4-10 Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan
Gallery Homepage: http://www.photo-sirius.net/guide/access.html (Japanese)

Been away from G+ for a bit due to work, business travel, etc, but I'm still around and had the chance to visit an exhibition featuring work by +Takahiro Yamamoto , +Yuga Kurita , and +nao sakaki .   I've seen alot of their photos online, but seeing the pictures in print is even cooler!  

It runs until the 29th, so I encourage you to drop by if you have a chance!  🙂
