I meant to include the daily hashtag of #TheUrbanGaze on this. But reposting it gives me the opportunity to link you to a piece I wrote almost a decade ago, about my exercise regime.

My "Photographer's Gymnasium"

Maybe there's something there that may help you

Is #TheUrbanGaze still on Thursday for #EastCoastKin ?

Here’s a contemplative look at Wanda’s Pie in the Sky in Kensington Market.

A couple for today's hashtag theme of #TheUrbanGaze and Shinjuku, Tokyo, about 9 years ago. Exploring light, reflections and urban abstractions with one of my photography students.

Another pairing of shots for #TheUrbanGaze theme. Both from here in Tokyo. And a fairly good representation of how my gaze on the urban environment works: the wide vistas and the tiny details.

Hope you're all having a good weekend so far. Myself and Charlie did a massive spring clean. Happy days.
Looking south west from the Hikarie building in Shibuya during a period back in 2014 when we had the sands from China blowing in. You can see the planetarium from the nearby university and the tall building which houses the Cerulean Hotel. The elevated motorway runs through the shot. A yellow and white line on the road, shot in macro. A piece of tape straddles the two. The texture of the paint very much the flavour of the shot.

Greetings earthlings! I saw an interesting challenge #theUrbanGaze and thought I’d contribute one vista and a relatively close shot. The manhattan view was taken around 2009, the street view in 2017 outside The Spring Lounge.
