Dogs in Ginza again. I must stop taking pics of these.... it's in danger of becoming appealing. :-)

Walking back from the shrine in Atago to the station. These lines, with a bit of low cross-light from the streetlights, just shouted 'shoot me!!'. So I did.

Had just finished with a student and was taking a walk through the streets in Ameyoko, Ueno. The light here was lovely. Not sure I got the complete atmosphere of the light but it feels nice.

Walking along the street with Marie, one of my students. we both saw the mirror. I waited a little as I could see three girls walking together, coming up the road towards it. They made an OK shot into something much better. Thanks girls. Nice timing.

All it needs now is the music from Reservoir Dogs :-)

This is me just playing, ahead of using this technique for a more serious photoshoot: camera on monopod, flipped upside down and rested on my shoe. Cable release attached to the camera to fire the shutter. Great aspect. Wanna pan and move the camera, just turn around, pivot your foot. Can be used nice and covertly as well; chin resting on top of monopod, cable-release out of site. Takes a while, if at all sometimes, for people to notice what you are doing.
