Late summer nights in Shinjuku

In the past I’ve posted photos of quiet, fairly solitary scenes in Shinjuku’s Kabukicho red light district. Little vignettes that provide an interesting counterpoint to a location quite righty known for its bright lights and busy streets,

Here then are more similar moments. A few of which are continuations of sorts from those earlier photos. All of which were taken recently. A time that also marked the last gasp of a very long summer.

      Haha, yes. He’s quite the dapper dresser to say the least.

    Isn’t it amazing that people find moments of solitude in such a dense city?!? The colors and the grainy textures are great!

      Yeah, it really is. Such moments make a fascinating contrast to the noise and crowds around them. And thank you, happy with how these came out.

    Have to agree with Sean. #2 is perfect.

      Thanks a lot. Very happy to have got that one. All came together nicely. The fella didn’t mind in the slightest, either.
