I've really enjoyed this series. It's fascinating to see these scenes from Japanese life and how the new and the traditional blend, and to see how your style is recognisable and used to great effect in these urban photographs.

I like this series. I like the colors.It looks like you enhanced the orange in the signage and traffic cones which I think is important to the composition of this photo.

Great series! I love all the bicycles parked along the side! (something we never see here in the US...Here it is all about our cars!)

Je suis admiratif de votre portfolio. Votre regard sur les choses est stupéfiant de part la simplicité et l'honnêteté qui en découle ainsi que votre technique photographique.
Merci pour mes yeux.

I agree with Cat that your style is recognizable in all settings and I am so glad to hear you are doing more urban images! I especially like the amazing contrasts you focus on. The fondness you have for your subjects (countryside or urban) is in all your images and that is a rare quality. The city shots are more time specific (with signs of the time period - cars, clothing etc.) while the country images are more about time standing still and I like that you give us both and see them both so well.

this is my favourite in the seris, with the mad stack of bicycles and the simple frame of the gates.

I am really enjoying these little temples sandwiched between concrete buildings. This is very different from the churches here in LA, usually surrounded by a large parking lot- no bikes, the street, then buildings. It's interesting to see how things around the world is sort of the same but sort of different as well.
