19 Dec 2010: A night out in Omote-Sando 表參道

So, it's christmas. Let's go shoot the lights! I heard Omotesando got entire road with lights, so there you go!

See the moon up there at the top right hand corner of the block? It's hard to catch!

And at the end, I dropped my camera while walking inside the Omotesando Hills mall...Gosh! 

Luckily the lens and the body are fine, seems like the filter has taken all the shocks, did it job and retired...Lesson learnt: Always use the best filter you can get!

18 Dec 2010: Photowalk in Meidaimae 明大前 to Shimokitazawa 下北沢

So this is the first OFFICIAL lesson I took in Japan. Following a British professional photographer - Alfie Goodrich. I was lucky to attend it exclusive as lots of the folks dropped out, probably due to the end-of-year parties, haha.


The theme today is B&W, on whatever, but at some places where colours seems to make much more stunning photos, we allowed ourselves to switch back to colour mode, yeah!


This walk is in an area filled with Shrines, didn't shoot much of that as to pay some respect. But, do look at the Momiji (Autumn Maple Leaves) and Ginko Leaves (Yellow heart shaped they are). So lovely and I was soaking myself into these wonderful pictures! Not feeling freezing at all!


Come and share my joy!

Let's see the road ahead, with the sun shining at the end, seek your own path...

Somehow Somewhere Something is showing us Some Directions, Some Truth, appreciate the surroundings, it's all around......

Quoting E.E. Cummings:

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and NEVER STOP FIGHTING..."

So where your dream resides?

11 Dec 2010: 近藤真彦 Matchy (Masahiko Kondō) Concert!!!

First time of me given today to ~ Machy! The first time I saw a concert in Japan.

He is touring around Japan for his 30th Anniversary in the musical industry.
Today, is the last one for the series, and it's held in the famous Nippon Budokan にっぽんぶどうかん 日本 武道館 in Kudanshita 九段下.

I am not a particular fans of Matchy, but I really reckon, he kept himself in pretty good shape, physically, and mentally, quite healthy and fit he is, considering he's 46.

The atmosphere is awesome and I stood and clapped all the way through, altho literally I only understand less than 10% of what he sang and what he said, hahaha.

Photoshooting is prohibited in the hall, so below please find some outside the stadium, see the crowd!
