My friends Esse & Ika made a really cool video of them rollerblading from Nakano station to our house in Shinjuku, short, sweet, smooth, it definitely worth it! Go check out their blog for more photos and video of their trip in Tokyo.

Theses guy were pretty good, I’ve talk with them a little bit before taking the shoot and they told me they didn’t sleep all night and the only thing that could keep them awake was to play music! They also told me they like Nirvana, NoFx and OffSpring, brought back some high school memories just to hear these names.

I don’t think I will shoot HDR at night when there is cloud anymore, they have a very weird effects on long exposure Shoots. What do you guys think? Do you like the super dramatic effect they have on the photos?

Influenced by the positive feedback I got from the my “view from my roof” photos, I decided to bring my camera and tripod to the residential streets of Nakano, my neighborhood. There, I tried to capture the feel of Tokyo’s small streets. If you come from North America you would be inclined to think that they look more like alleyways rather than streets, but that’s what I love about them. Every house is unique, people leave their potted plants outside, their bicycles unlocked and they let their laundry hang out everywhere. Nowhere in the world have i ever even such respect for other people’s belongings.
