there's just something about having someone to take your picture- but what about someone to take a picture of someone taking your picture?
chaos can only thrive in the absence of order. taxi drivers line up neatly while waiting on new passengers.
a busker in a purple kimono sings love and peace under the neon
a grid of lit office windows over the taxis waiting at a red light
bamboo fills a courtyard between ochre walls, the late sun catching the leaves
an autumn tunnel of ginkgo over an empty path, one figure at the far end
the tokyo fire dept cab, red and polished, driver watching from the window
golden ginkgo overhead, red signs on the left, the crowd walking through the shade
from the outside, looking in
signs stack up the buildings while the street stays in shadow
a pink ribbon loops over the red signage in akihabara
before boarding rapid transit, slow down and appreciate an artist on the piano
a painted heart on a weathered wall, small offerings tucked below
an onsen banner on the red wall, a man crouched over his phone
tokyo tower as seen from roppongi prefectural route 319
golden light rakes the walls of an empty back alley
the street falls into shadow while the clouds catch the last light
it got a little wet in shibuya- that's okay because the look it gives is something special
parallels
autumn turns the avenue rust-orange, cars queued neatly along the curb
a woman in a gray coat walks past the pipes, mid-stride
hidden calm in a city that has a busy reputation
it comes so that we may go
a beautiful photoshoot takes place deep in the hagashiyama ward
a journey onward, destination not required
rainy day in ryogoku - the district known as the center of the sumo wrestling world
a capture is caught, essense of elegance
nakamise-dori, bustling as usual
a more comfortable city at night doesn't exist

a beautiful path winding needs no reminding
and the next station is?
a setting set by the setting sun
way of fragrance
serene gloomy
red rafters, a gilded corner, and a security camera watching from the tiles
a platform to begin the journey towards your dreams
red and white balloons arch over the crowd toward the temple gate
the thunder gate's giant lantern hangs over everyone walking underneath
incense smoke drifts past the lantern while the crowd files through
the incense burner smokes through the gate and the crowd waits
a pale blue kimono in a sea of winter jackets
golden autumn leaves frame the stone jizo, apartments looming behind
godzilla's day off

sparse pink blossoms against a soft grey blur
all are moving to be moved
pumping water at the shrine grounds, one leaning on the lever, one waiting her turn
bound for haneda airport, car 7318 idles under the warm platform lights
station staff walks the platform alone, white gloves and all
stick around
a red coca-cola machine humming on a quiet street, fully stocked and unbothered
yellow jacket carries the groceries home down a rain-slicked alley
the pokka sapporo machine stands among the leaves, yen prices and all
golden ginkgo lines the boulevard while the pink coach bus queues into the grey afternoon
crossing lines while holding her own
warmth framed amongst brick
absorbed in his phone while the platform glows yellow around him
a light finds you
neon meets the night shift
shibuya neon lights the wet sidewalk for people walking home with closed umbrellas
a commuter bows to his phone while the platform screen doors recede into dark
a flow state in motion
waiting for the walk signal in front of a wall of spray-painted letters
a city breathes through the crosswalks
mirror catches what the street ignores
the lioness suns herself on a rock, framed by the gap in the wall
a black panther in silhouette, only the eye catching light against a painted sky
cycles waiting for the cycle to begin again
company of a konbini
the conductor salutes from the doorway, white gloves, masked, ritual at every stop
the vending machine glows alone on the street - the only light for blocks
her monday in monochrome
leaning on the steel column, she scrolls; the platform edge glows yellow behind her
pleased to wait
ginkgo avenue in full gold, a cyclist paused mid-street
city life in bloom
no rush through the alley's warmth
dont know where i am going & where i am coming from
under the eve of where the palace breathes
goldenhourglass
leaning into the light
tiers of silence, serene structures
a man on a stone bench, absorbed in whatever is in his hands
a golden pause
a singular path with many possibilities
the fire hydrant painted with its own name, standing in fallen leaves
a temple gate whose curved roof does all the talking
a sandy path threading between hedges, warm light filtering through
hours lit against the bruise of evening
a lone koi swimming over a bed of fallen leaves
step up to the new vibe
stone posts lining a curving path, long shadows across the leaves
from the ground up
the split sky doubled over the asphalt
paper lanterns stacked with donor names, glowing at a night shrine
vintage interior holds the morning still
shinsaibashi arcade packed shoulder to shoulder under the holiday lottery banner
golden hour crowd on the terrace, a contrail cutting over the rooftops
the chef at the counter in warm amber light, a mic clipped to her collar
the sun is steady while we wait
top down, class up. open air, closed expression.
the hour is carried by her shadow
pacing through a different constellation
an autumn walk in golden light, leaves lining the sidewalk edges
footsteps soft as falling leaves
the boulevard handed to pedestrians, neon and tree lights under a black sky
the evening unravels behind him
their footsteps follow warm secrets
levels to the levels and steps to the steps
suit trunk tokyo
hearts and bags full, chasing the light
we rose as night fell
she walks past the shadow of autumn
do not cross. explore in lieu
not in red but red adjacent
light cast on ancient rounds
waiting where the pines lean in
autumn traffic symphony
weathering the rain under neon soup
an errand framed amongst the leaves
