Before Christmas, my good friend Giovanni and I went on a trip a few hours north of Tokyo — the main aim of our days away being to check out some potential locations, as well as work out the logistics of an autumn workshop we have planned. A nicely varied 8-day adventure that’ll involve street photography, seasonal scenes, and the intriguing decay of old Japanese towns.
Below then is some of what what we saw. A mixture of things we wanted to see, along with plenty of nicely unexpected surprises.
Also, talking of workshops, a last minute cancellation has opened up one spot on the Winter Scenery and Old School Streets trip Giovanni and are running in February, so if that sounds of interest, the details are here.

Happy New Year, Lee. Yet another great documentary series to kick off the year. So much to take in and process.

It will take a good while to explore all of these great photographs. That Bus-House. Classy parking 🙂 It seems to have utilities plumbed in and possibly an aircon unit. Amazing find. I love that Kirin Lemon vending machine. Just the right size and a splendid hat.
Happy New Year Lee
Lee says
Yeah, that bus place was a very surprising find. It was definitely a used part of the building. No idea what for though.
The vending machine I knew about. Been meaning to go for ages. And needless to say it did not disappoint. A real beauty.
Thank you. You too. Happy New Year. A year that’ll hopefully involve another get together as well.
