How can anyone get sick of this place? No matter how many times I go, it’s still just as exciting and beautiful as the first time.

Even though I’m not done going through all my Japan images, I’m still out shooting. This was taken two weeks ago, right after it stopped raining. I’m a sucker for weather images and I thought this puddle brought a different perspective.

Our apartment was in Shinjuku so that’s where we spent most of our time. Which turned out perfect because it was my favorite part of the city. Theres all these great alley ways, stores and restaurant. Every where you turned, there was something new and interesting to see.

Even at night, when it’s all dark, the city of Tokyo doesn’t sleep. It’s full of color, lights and life.

I love how the crosswalks in this picture sort of divides everything. In each little corner there’s so much going on. Everybody’s lives are all different but somehow lead them to this one intersection. And then you have me, the creeper from the balcony photographing it all 🙂

So one of the coolest nights that we spent in Tokyo was when we joined Eyexplore Tokyo for their “Tokyo Vertigo” tour. I’m a big fan of taking photo tours with locals whenever I’m in a new place and this one was one of the best tours I’ve been on. Not only did we get amazing, unique views of the city by hoping from rooftop to rooftop, but our tour guide, Axel was awesome! He was just so passionate about teaching photography and showing off his city. I really felt like I learned a lot from him. He’s also a super cool and friendly guy too. So if you’re ever in Japan, I’d definietly recommend looking them up.
