From today until the end of the year I’m going to publish some posts with the title “Tokyo pictures 2008”. In each post I will concentrate in different subjects, in this first article the subtitle is “People”. At the end I will put together the best pictures from each post considering your opinions reading the comments from each post. The idea of this series is to capture Tokyo’s 2008 zeitgeist. I used a Nikon D90, a Nikon D40 and a Canon IXY Digital 910 IS to take these pictures.
It’s amazing how many magazines about ONE phone are being published in Japan. Yes, I know that the iPhone is MORE than a phone… but still.
I love how Japanese people keep using old stuff, reuse it, evolve it, integrate it with new things. For example, I love to find lever fountains while walking around Tokyo streets. This is my collections of lever fountain pictures. I can’t imagine finding fountains like this in Madrid, San Francisco or New York; we got rid off them but Japanese not, and they still use them.
This picture was taken in Meguro, in the middle of Tokyo.
