Photo of Dentsu Building

Tokyo Blade

This past week I had the opportunity to run down to the Shiodome area of Tokyo with the intention of shooting some of the great architecture in the area. At the top of the list was the Dentsu Building. This building has not only a great shape to it, but also a perfect position for some awesome lighting, especially when mixed with the long exposure effects of an ND (neutral density) filter. It takes about...

A Lotus Flower In Ueno Park

They wanted some photos of cherry blossoms around the Shibakoen area, as it is where the hotel itself is located. I was happy to oblige because (as you probably know) I love photographing the sakura! This was one of my favorite photos from the outing. Only in Tokyo will you find such a...
