Golden Hour : in Taishidō, Tokyo.

March 14, 2020 in ORDINARY TOKYO

One of my favourite everyday walks in Tokyo, is the stroll I take from Daizawa to Sangenjaya. The change of vibes and general streetscape is great to take in along the way. These photos were taken late afternoon on a side street parallel to the main thoroughfare. Behind a gym and a Family Mart.

The late afternoon light was just too beautiful to ignore. That’s a nice thing about Tokyo, a lot of people noticed the quiet phenomenon and nodded their admiration as they walked on by.

Noticing More: Just Hanging There

I noticed this lonely sneaker hanging around since the end of summer. Suspended by its lace from barbed wire on a pedestrian bridge over a busy A road, it’s precariously close to plummeting onto the passing traffic below.

Notice More: Spilt Paint

Instead of cleaning up the emulsion paint that my 3yr old boy squeezed onto some card that I’d been using as a background for photos, I just stared at it through my camera.

Notice More : Pleasing Creases

It's curious how the mind can take something and run with it isn't it? There I was - gazing at the beautiful imperfections and tactile textures on our last post whilst my mind was busy deciding for me that creases are in fact - oh-so-beautiful-and-fascinating.

Notice More : It's a Wrap!

Tucked down a side street in busy Covent Garden, we walked into this sight.

Prior to seeing this. I would never have guessed at how pleased the sight of peachy pink vinyl covered shop windows would make me. I would also not have guessed that I would shamelessly stand there staring before approaching to touch the air bubbles and creases that were so alluringly tactile in that moment.
