26.01.2013 - a walk down Shokuan Dori

Hello guys!

Firstly, let me promise many more blog posts soon!
This week is my last week of full time work; starting February 1st I'll only be working 3 days a week, instead of 7.
Which means heaps more time for adventures and photography Tokyo.
Since 90% of the walking around I do now is getting to a from work, which I don't like bringing my camera to.

I'm very excited about this whole thing, since I'm not here for that much longer and there's so so much I still haven't seen.

But this evening I took my camera to the dojo with me just so I could document walking back to my house along Shokuan Dori.
Which is A) the street between my house and the dojo and B) the main street trough Korea Town.
I love walking along here at night because I think it's just so lovely.
But I may just think that because I walk it daily.
It's not the nicest street, nor the brightest, nor the most cultural.
But it's wonderful to me.

Hope you all have a good day and a pleasant tomorrow!

Hello guys,

Between yesterday & today I've taken some more conceptual photos which I thought I'd share with you all!

Yesterday's shoot happened on the roof of the building my family's staying in whilst they're in Tokyo.

Finally this, which is a pretty big step away from my regular style. 

Not really 100% sure on how I feel about it, but it's interesting to edit things differently. 

----------------

Today's shoot happened on the 5th floor of the aforementioned building. 

The creepiest place I've ever been, hands down.

And my favourite self portrait that I've taken for a long, long time.

I normally find it very difficult to create the image I envisioned, which I managed to do here perfectly.

Hope you all have a good day and a pleasant tomorrow!

Hello all,

slept funny so my back was a bit tight this morning but it felt almost fine at work and then on my way back to the train station from the farmer's market I tripped and fell (I never used to fall down, since I moved here I've tripped like daily.) and managed to make both my knees and my back feel like they were on fire?
My knees seemed to have calmed down a bit but my neck is killing me and I have a headache again.

Poor baby.

Sorry for the lack of photos, I didn't have my camera for any part of today.

Buuuuuut here's the video from yesterday and a few of the self portraits I talked about, that I also took yesterday.

The song's Rave On preformed by Buddy Holly.

(I suggest you go watch this on YouTube because it's playing oddly on my blog.
you can do this by clicking the 'YouTube' icon that is in the bottom left of the video.)

I'm actually working on a new project which is going to be a series of diptychs of self portraits taken in my room and landscapes of my experiences in japan.

I've started to put a few together in a book and I'm really really pleased with the results so far.

I may share a few once I have more that I'm psyched about.

I hope you all have a good day and a pleasant tomorrow!
