“Urban Carapace” : Hamamatsucho, Tokyo, 16th March 2012
Just back from a week-long trip to Tokyo where I immersed myself in photographing the urban architecture of this great metropolis.
It was a great trip – I saw a lot of new stuff, despite having been there many times before, and now I’m home again with about 800 shots to wade through and process – and I’m still not done with the ones from last September’s trip to Europe!!!
Here’s a little opener – I just loved this smeared transparent shell over the staircase on the long walkway to Hamamatsucho station from my hotel on the first morning of my holiday, all excited to be free and let loose in the Big City with only a map and a camera for companionship…
A deceptively simple and low-key beginning that is just the tip of the iceberg…
