streets of tokyo, 2019 -
171 photos in this collection.This collection houses my recent Tokyo street photos. I came back to the city in 2018 for the first time in eight years and realized that I'd still enjoy living there if I could. Eighteen months later I was back looking for work, and twenty-one months later I was living here again with my family.
tokyo 2008
321 photos in this collection.Photos from Tokyo, the world's largest city, during hectic 2008.
The season I really went back to film, and fell in love with Ilford FP4 *and* Fuji's 1600 ISO colour film.
tamagawa canal
55 photos in this collection.In the west of Tokyo, a 43 kilometer canal was dug in the Edo era by guys with shovels. It transported water from the Tama river to central Tokyo, feeding farms and villages all the way.
This a photo triptych for that canal from the river to Kokubunji - maybe the western 15 kilometers of the thirty or so that still exist.
tokyo 2005
85 photos in this collection.Photos from my first visit to Tokyo, in the Summer & Autumn of 2005.
tokyo clutter
105 photos in this collection.My image of Tokyo, before I arrived, was one of an immaculate city made as spotless as it appears in anime.
Whoo, was that impression wrong. Happily, this is a city of crumbling buildings, abandoned vehicles, and knotted wiring second only (in my experience) to the electrician's nightmare that is Manila.
I love this sort of stuff!
