kozure Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 <p>I will be in Tokyo for the next couple of weeks and I am trying to get as much as possible from from the trip. I go out everyday and try to capture the city the way I see it. Does anyone of you had a chance to shoot in Tokyo? What are your thoughts? Experiences? You can check my photos at http://www.kozureokame.com . Let me know what you think. Best. Jacek</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamespjones Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 <p>Like any city Tokyo has districts and every 3-6 hours the vibe is changing. My thoughts? Get on a train and get lost for a while. Hook left at the little street with the gate over the entrance. The side streets often contain more interest than the main streets.</p> <p>If you're shooting on a train don't try to be overly covert. I believe the law requires that you have a camera with an audible shutter if you are on a train.</p> <p>Good luck and enjoy the food too.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary_watson Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 <p>Try old Asakusa. This article from the New York Times is a good intro to the district:</p> <p>http://travel.nytimes.com/2009/09/20/travel/20explorer.html?scp=1&sq=Asakusa&st=nyt</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clive1 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 <p>Avoid cliche is probably the best advice. Flickr is full of them. <strong><a href="http://cargocollective.com/clivevictorfrance#118206">Here</a> </strong> is a Tokyo slideshow I've put together for an upcoming event in New York. For a mega-list of links to Japanese photographers, check out the side bar in <strong><a href="http://www.tylerensrude.blogspot.com/">this blog</a> </strong> .</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_wolf2 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 <p>I shot a bit in Ginza and really enjoyed it. Go on a Sunday when the main street is closed to traffic. Very lively with lots of people.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
