I was out and about Sunday afternoon and took a few photos on the walk home from Shinjuku. I thought i’d have a go at some black and white pics and i’m pretty happy with the way they turned out.
There’s some focus issues on a few of them that become a lot less noticeable when they’re reduced to fit the site.
Having a decent camera makes me a bit less uncomfortable about taking photos of people.
Not sure of this lads hair was the real deal or not.
This band were playing opposite South Exit.
They’re called “Scratch Market” and play Bluesoul Oldfashion
The next show is out at Kichijoji at a place called Shuffle, 2009.04.17
I’ve been taking the camera with me most places on the weekend, and will continue to do so moving in the future, so you can expect a lot more photos than usual.

Love the photos Neil. Especially the 6th one of the band. You also got a peace sign from one of the lads. It’s great when a random stranger does that
classy and artsy. good on ya!
hey! there’s some good stuff here. [I was hoping to meet you at Danny's CGM Night and pay you a beer... Next time I hope!]
Hi Jerome, I was hoping to get there too but I had a mate in town from the UK for 1 show only so I caught up with him instead, next time for sure though.
Nice shots… itching to get hold of a 50D of my own… keep up the good work
I don’t really have a “decent” camera, just a 300D (the very first Digital Rebel that came out years ago), but I’ve often wondered if I went out with it and a nice big lens, if I would feel better than I currently do shooting with a 20,000-yen point-and-shoot camera. IE, if I would feel less shy about taking pictures of people…
It’s certainly made me feel a bit better, although I’m told a few beers does the same too.
I really like the black and white images, especially the “guy with the hair”one.
Bit dissapointed i didn`t get them to pose for a pic, they were up for it when they saw me take the first photo.
Brings back great memories of Harajuku eki… Tokyo is so alive!
You’re making good use of your new camera. As you said still some focus issues but you’re on your way. I can’t wait to see more improvement so keep us updated!
I agree with you, beers definitely help as much as an expensive camera does
Cheers~
Very nice, Neil. Looking forward to more.
Looking forward to taking more too Billy, really excited with the purchase so far. Nice to see you’ve equipped yourself with some gear too mate, looking forward to seeing some pics from Akita.
Slick-looking dudes ! Nice shots
liking the black and white pixs
Cheers ET …. i really like the effect of the B&W too.
Nice black and white photos there. I always find natural shots when people are not expecting it to be the best
