I was trying to find this image for a little project, something for Nat Geo, and it turned out not to be in my Smugmug but was on Flickr… which means it may never have made it to the blog! So here it is, a fun shot from Tokyo with the X1D as a little palate cleanser before more Burning Man images.
Of all the Blade Runner-esque parts of Tokyo, Shinjuku is probably the most intense. Japanese people are quiet, polite, and perhaps even a bit shy, and the environs are often the exact opposite.

What an epic outfit. Well done little kid, well done! We all know your mom was like “wear a standard dress like me” and you were like “no, i am an individual!”. You’ll go places for sure.
I have a theory that almost any picture can be improved by the inclusion of an umbrella, or parasol. Go on, try it. You’ll see.
I just stumbled across a few images from Asia that I don’t think I’ve shared before. It’s quite awesome when that happens, although not quite as awesome as finding some money in that jacket you haven’t worn in a while. That’s always a good excuse to go spend your newfound wealth on something super unhealthy. Mmmm… donuts…
I think I spend at least 75% more time under bridges than the average person. Here is the result of one such occasion in Tokyo.
You’ll, like me, have seen a number of views of this crazy junction in Tokyo. It’s one of the busiest in the world, if not the most busy. It’s been a few years since I was there and from what I read the buildings have changed quite a bit with older brands closing down and newer ones taking their place. It will be interesting to see just how much is different when I get back there (hopefully later this year!).
… with a picture of a snow monkey. Enjoy!
I’m knee deep in a redesign of the Fine Art site and it’s been a lot of fun to see how we can reimagine it for the new Web 3.0 era while retaining some focus on the physical prints which are just as important. While that’s ongoing, here’s one of my favorites from Series 1. It was one which I loved seeing produced at 2.5meters across. It’s like you can step into it and I love that… even more so when up close because the whole thing almost envelops you.
