Striking Tokyo light and looks

With the light in the spot below only like this at a certain time of year, and of course only on certain days, the temptation to keep returning is hard to resist. Then when I am there, there’s a similar temptation to wait for the next person of interest, then one more after that, and finally one last one — on loop.

This early black and white shot remains my favourite, but I’m also happy with a couple of recent colour ones: this stylish young woman, and an older, bearded man.

Plus now there’s this one to add to the list as well.

    Wonderful shot as always. I love these “signature” photographs of yours. These photos are coffee table book material that I am sure anyone who loves street photography would be pleased to have in their homes!

      Thank you very much. That’s really good to hear. A lovely idea, and something, in conjunction with a friend, that I’m hoping to achieve. Early days yet though, so we shall see…

    Another moment of magic caught in the Shinjuku shadow canyon.
    Brought this song to mind

    “Rows and floes of angel hair
    And ice cream castles in the air
    And feather canyons everywhere
    I’ve looked at clouds that way”

    Thank you.
