This work of art is formed with huge 6 digital counter of neon light, which has 3m20cm height each. Digital counters keep counting from 9 to 1 and do not indicate ’0′. And each digital counter’s counting speed is different. The wall is made with neon light as background of digital counters and it changes in day and night. In daytime, background’s neon light is turned off and digital counters of white neon light are displayed. It turns over the scenery in nighttime. It displays black digital counters on background of white bright light. - tatsuomiyajima.com

I love to go up fire escape stairs to reach building roof, it often give me a nice vantage point to shoot. Some times I climb up 10 or 15 floors to meet a look door, or even worst, some one on the patrol asking me what I am doing up there, but usually when I explain I just want to take a photo and it will only take a minute, they let me do my things.

Working with Akiko was so much fun, she’s gorgeous, dynamic and very professional. We spend most of the day shooting in Harajuku and Yoyogi park. It was a little bit cold, so I was holding her coat at the same time I was taking most of the shoots, I’m such a nice gentlemen ね! You should definitely check out her site and also add her on twitter !

I love when all the mechanic is exposed like this, looks a bit steam-punkish. I talk with the guy a little bit, told me he loves his bike more than his wife, I hope she doesn’t read this… oups.

tokyo DSC 0135 6 7 tonemapped 11 Mitsubishi Ichigokan   三菱一号館

The building is a faithful recreation of the original Mitsubishi Ichigokan which stood on the same location.
Originally completed in 1894 and designed by British architect Josiah Conder, the building was torn down in 1968. The construction company responsible for the current incarnation used portions of the original plans and materials used at the time of the original construction. The new building, built out of red brick and cast concrete, have three stories above ground and two stories below.    - Wikipedia
