Flying Through Tokyo
This is another shot I took last week from the World Trade Center in Tokyo. I saw this road between two tall apartment complexes, and I knew I wanted to get a shot of it, but I wasn’t really sure how. You can’t really tell in this photo, but to the right of the frame, there’s a big park so the space is just empty, and thus the composition wasn’t that great for a landscape...
Postcard Tokyo from the World Trade Center
A couple of nights ago I took a visit to Tokyo’s World Trade Center. I had heard they were pretty lax about their tripod policy, and with a great view of the city, it seemed like a good stop for the evening. I got quite a few pictures I like which I’ll be sharing over the coming weeks I’m sure. This wasn’t my favorite, but I think it gives a good idea of how nice...
Matsudo Sidestreet & Capturing The Mood

It’s one thing to capture a lovely landscape or cityscape, but those are a dime a dozen and while I enjoy taking them (quite a bit actually), they don’t really share what it’s like to live here –...
Autumn Leaves on Green Moss in Kamakura

One of the things I love about temples in Japan is just how many photographically interesting areas there are, along with a variety of great seasons to enjoy. The leaves in this picture are Japanese maples, known in Japan as momiji. I really enjoyed the contrast of...
Squared Off Sky
This photo comes from downtown Tokyo, just up the road from Tokyo Station in fact.

I really like the way the lines work in this shot, and how shaped off the whole thing is. Camera: Nikon D7000 Lens: Nikon 35mm f/1.8G Shot Info: f/9 | 1/125sec | ISO200 | 35mm
