The bright colours and neon are an integral part of Shinjuku — or at least this particular area of Shinjuku — but they can also be very distracting. Or at least they are to me. But black and white calms things down a lot, and allows you to focus on the people rather than everything else in the scene.

It fits since so much of Shinjuku still has that Times Square before it got too cleaned-up vibe.

Ah, good call. That had never crossed my mind, but yes, it does.
Coli says
Excellent picture. I guess it’s the lack of color that really makes this picture have feeling to it. Interesting!
Lee says
Cheers!
