yokohama schoolgirls
goddamn these little girls were soooooo cute! not the best photos but i was playing the subtle street photographer – aka dr. sneaky. and then i thought, what the hell. i’m just gonna ask ‘em. they grinned sweetly and stood together and smiled and then asked me a few questions in English (you know, what’s your name, etc). i showed them their pic in the digital display, they giggled, and then they waved goodbye and continued on their way.
ueno tentacles
the busy lanes across the road from ueno station are full of old style seafood markets and packed crowds and stalls selling all manner of goods from t-shirts and sunglasses to chinese style cheongsams and traditional japanese style souvenirs. well worth a stroll on your way to the park.
a !musing
ueno park dusk. a suited man feeds pigeons. a stray cat nestles closer to the ground in hunt position in a nearby flower bed. the tension of anticipation….
some new galleries up include shinjuku gyoen and a bunch of new hanami (cherry blossom) pics, including some night hanami.
i will listen for free
a man with flourescent orange hair sits outside shibuya station beside his sign: “I will listen for free”

funky, cosy little bar tucked away in the backstreets of roppongi
