No Cliches

A few loose promises made to myself this trip.

No mobile phone (user or otherwise) images

But it is nearly impossible to shoot Shibuya without catching someone else’s selfie.

Or at any other crossing it seems.

Even when the light takes on the intensity of a renaissance painting.

Or when they are incidental, in the background.

No homeless or urban decay.

Rare as they are in Tokyo streets, the classic juxtaposition of poor/wealthy is still findable, and hard to ignore.

All fronts, no backs.

No more metro shots. God no.

Well what was I supposed to do. Just keep walking?

Especially no metro and mobile phone shots!

And above all, no Geisha, especially the “fake” ones.

…..

Oh well, maybe next time.
