Before coming to Japan i was never that keen a photographer, i hadn’t owned a digital camera when i was in Australia so the expense and effort in getting photos developed from traditional camera i had put me off.
Since moving here i’ve bought a few cameras with the current one being this Canon IXY Digital 2000 IS, and most recently i picked up a Sanyo Xacti HD 1010 video camera that shoots stills too. I try to take at least one of these with me everywhere i go, there’s usually one in the bag i take to work each day.
On the weekend however, especially at night, i usually rely on my iPhone to capture a few random photos, not the best quality but it does the job.
Any-hooo, with all these devices i manage to end up with quite a few pictures, some interesting some not so interesting, here’s a few i came across when freeing up some space.
I pass this cool fluffy black dog on my way to work most mornings.
Fireworks are readily available in supermarkets, this was at the last Hanabi Party i went too.
An electric scooter spotted up at the beach this summer.
The Yakitori menu at the shop i have recently banned myself from going to, I’m chuffed i can read most of it.
A dancer at a bar called Krishna in Kabukicho.
I don’t remember taking this, but it’s on my phone? A J-Babe getting around town on a bike with high heels, a short skirt, a helmet on backwards and not done up.
A festival down in the East Exit area of Shinjuku Station.
Same festival, was a good night but the street festivities closed around 8pm, bummer.
Some food from the other night at Yakiniku.
Some of the other food, this Yakiniku restaurant is dirt cheap and in Yoyogi.
Is it Mery Jane or Marry Jane? Sign spotted in Shimo Kitawzawa the other night when i was out with Billy West and JT.
Hemp related goods lose by in Shimo Kitazawa.
Met this cat in a bar in Kabukicho, he’s a musician and here to see his buddy play at a Jazz bar in Ginza from memory, he’s a big fan of Japan and put up with me and the lads having a skin full.

Yeah, that guy in the bottom pic was definitely cool, Neil. I hope we didn’t drive him away
The guy at the bottom looks like your Dad after week in Bali. You guys could be related. Might be a bald thing, might be a glasses thing, might be the facial hair but whack em all together and that rooster could be your Dad.
You are “Tool Of The Week” Yevgeni.
Your Dad did a stint in Fiji with the navy didnt he? Sure that bloke aint your brother?
Just between you and I Grimetski, Barry White’s not dead after all …. shhhh!
Closing parties at 8pm??
I guess if I lived in the neighborhood and liked sleeping theeeen that would sound pretty damn good
That was a good night night, mate. Look forward to more of the same.
LOL@ Barry White. That was too funny.
“Krishna” is an Indian name , but she is not looking like INDIAN
Just checked the name of the place, it’s Krishuna .. an loosely african themed bar and restaurant in Kabukicho.
Kabukicho. Now that is a damn wild place!
