Some years ago, I first visited the Godzilla king of the monsters statue in Hibiya. At that time, the sky was dull, so I photographed him in black and white. But this time, I had some good weather. I captured him in color. The Hibiya Square statue was unveiled in late March 2018. You’ll recognize …

Shiba Park was the third place for me to see plum blossoms in 2020. For my visit, the weather was exceptional with perfect skies. It was a great day to be outside. What else can I say? There wasn’t much different from the previous year. I only noticed the lack of cats. There were …
I went to Shibuya for night street photography again. People were around but not as many as three or four years ago. It was hot, but I got some good photos. And I confirmed a few of my thoughts that had developed about the area over the last couple of years. Where should I start? …
