There’s a bit of mystery still lurking around these parts of Tokyo and I’m happy to capture images of it as it is and how it changes. #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #NightPhotography #nightscape #lowlight #photographersonbluesky #photography

After the exhibition each day, I've been photographing entryways & such. I just love these scenes. I mean, how long will they be around?!?!? #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #NightPhotography #nightscape #lowlight #photographersonbluesky #photography

I'm participating in a group exhibition in Shinjuku, Tokyo this week and it has been cool to see who's interested in what and to learn why. Anywho, here's a couple images from the show. #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #photographersonbluesky #photography

Often, I'm shooting to document the area, a certain store or izakaya, because these scenese can disappear quickly. This is Tokyo life. #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #NightPhotography #nightscape #lowlight #photographersonbluesky #photography

Meikyoku Kissa Lion 名曲喫茶ライオン in Shibuya — photography isn't allowed inside. I've been in here many times over the years and always been mindful of the rules. But the other day, as I was walking down the street, a window was open, allowing for a view inside. So grand, but with cheap-ass fans.

The SEIBU Shibuya Store 西武渋谷店 has closed. I'd bet good money that the new building won't look as cool as this one. Subjectivity looms in that take, but things just looked cooler in the '60s. #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #photographersonbluesky #photography #photographer

I can't find tasty #tortillas in #Tokyo easily. The best are in a few restaurants, but that's basically destination dining in this massive place. So, for the first time in my life, I channeled grandma Garcia and made my own. And can I say, they ROCK! I'll grow fat very quickly because of these!

Many of you have seen my latest photos of Ito, so to coincide with them, I bring you a video that talks a little bit about my experience. Enjoy! #urbanphotography #streetphotography #NightPhotography #nightscape #lowlight #photographersonbluesky #photography #YouTube youtu.be/AnM_JkoOHuk

Itō 伊東市 Shizuoka on a Tuesday around 7pm. Silent streets. Moody scenes.

Itō 伊東市 Shizuoka on Tuesday isn't the optimal time to photograph the area. Most places are closed. Often, I forget that when one travels outside the metropolis of (wherever), things slow down just a bit. Well, a lot. #photographersunited #NightPhotography #photographersonbluesky #photography

Taipei changed my photography for ever. These images show that just a bit, but it's the journey and the moments that had the most effect on me. That trip also helped me realize that I can still evolve as a creative person behind the lens. #urbanphotography #streetphotography #photography #Taipei

Shibuya is crawling with tourists atm, and I haven't spent much time there over the last couple months. But the other day, I went hunting for interesting scenes and I think this spot is just super cool. Shibuya, Jinnan 1 Chome has some interesting buildings and this is one of them, IMO. #photography

After 58 years as a landmark of youth culture and fashion in Tokyo, the iconic Seibu Shibuya department store has closed. Operating since 1968, the store pioneered Japan’s select shop trend. I'm super bummed I didn't take photos inside. #photographersunited #photographersonbluesky #photography

I’ve chosen this image for a show in Mexico City and the exhibition will be presented in collaboration with the Japan Foundation and hosted at the Asociación México Japonesa. This is huge and I thank you for your support. Let’s go! "Fortune favors the brave" #photographersonbluesky #photography

Oimachi, Tokyo. Often, I hear people talking about what street photography is or should be, and I actually don't really care about labels, monikers, genres, and whatever else too much. I just dig hitting the streets, and Oimachi is one of them #streetphotography #photographersonbluesky #photography

"under construction". Japan posts/creates/generates the most obvious communications, no matter the platform. Thank you. I'm often unsure of what is happening. This is a blank advertising panel in Shinjuku #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #photographersonbluesky #photography

Two images that didn't make it into my book. Oh, how I love them! This is my local yaki imo 焼き芋 dude. Woo! Hard bloom on those lights! #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #NightPhotography #nightscape #lowlight #photographersonbluesky #photography

I had a long ol' post about confidence behind the camera, but I just post the image instead. #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #NightPhotography #nightscape #lowlight #photographersonbluesky #photography #graffiti #Tokyo

My B&W images are reserved for film. I kinda like it that way. This is Kentmere Pan 200 - developed in my studio. #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #NightPhotography #nightscape #lowlight #photographersonbluesky #photography #believeinfilm #bwfilm #filmphotography #film

Good morning, from Tokyo! Beyond the touristy hotspots, there’s a vast selection of decay that is seldom documented, except by yours truly. Many of these signs will be gone one day, so photographing them now is a win for me. #urbanphotography #streetphotography #photographersonbluesky #photography

I went on vacation last month for almost 3 weeks without a camera. It was SO nice. I talk about that a little and weave in some early & late August images. Check it out! youtu.be/NvMrUc5Nj7Y?... #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #photographersonbluesky #photography #YouTube

Vacation without a camera? Best no photos, ever. 🇯🇵 Tokyo to USA and back.

My next door neighbor, a 92 yr-old granny, came by today to give me some peppers. She's so delightful. I barely understood a word she said, but we used Google Translate to help us have a nice little conversation. She said it's nice to see our lights on at night - gives her comfort.

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to create videos these days. It's not about my creativity, it's that i don't think I have anything really different to say. OK, question. What do you want to see from a photographer who lives in Japan? www.youtube.com/@TokyoGritan... #photographersonbluesky
