I spent this past weekend in Tokyo with my good friend Sean Horrell, who is a great photographer, with an especially gifted eye for cities (and who is sadly nowhere on the internet, so I have no links for you). We went to see a concert, but the rest of the trip sort of unexpectedly turned into an extended photography shoot. Honestly, I’m usually crap at catching good things to photograph in cities, but in his company, I noticed loads of shots I probably would have skipped past otherwise. In that way, this shoot was really a group effort (and we shot lots of the same subjects, so having only mine up makes it feel half complete. I promise to badger him into at least setting up a flickr account).
Some samples from Shibuya:
Sean also spotted this row of mirrors that had been cleaned and lined up outside of a hotel, waiting to be taken back inside. It was an amazing find on his part:
We also found this amazing alley in Harajuku lined with murals:
Then we spent some time people watching from a restaurant on an upper floor of a building in Harajuku:
This is just a sampling of what I took. Look at the full set on flicker for the rest. The ones of alley are my favorites, by far!
Great pictures, I’d love the chance to take pictures in Harajuku.
