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.
