Some of my 2013 favourites
2013 has now passed and gone. It was good year, filled with many changes and challenges for me. As 2014 gets into gear I wanted to do a review of some of my favourite pics from 2013. This year I aim to create a whole new body of work, and I look forward to sharing […]
One Night in Shibuya
Shibuya is one of the hearts of Tokyo. An area constantly teaming with people. In the daytime and evening the hustle and bustle never seems to stop, but at night it goes a little more to extremes from very crowded to very quiet. Many people who read my blog won’t have experienced Shibuya at night, […]
Alone in Public 2
This is Part Two in the series ‘Alone in Public’. You can see part one here Tokyo is home to over 12m people, all cramped into small apartments and offices. It’s difficult to find a space to be alone. Some overcome this by shutting themselves away in their rooms and almost never coming out, others […]
Getting customers for Tokyo’s ‘invisible’ restaurants
Many Tokyo restaurants and bars are invisible. That doesn’t mean that they have discovered a scientific way for you to see through them.

My first few steps were taken nervously, but eventually I learned to love it. Street photography helped me to learn how to shoot images that tell stories – […]
Alone in Public
Tokyo is home to over 12m people, all cramped into small apartments and offices. It’s difficult to find a space to be alone. Some overcome this by shutting themselves away in their rooms and almost never coming out, others have just found a way to cope with it, but some simply find a way to […]
Let it snow
Welcome to the first blog entry of 2013. I’ve not updated the blog for a few weeks as I’ve been pretty busy. I was lucky enough to be able to spend a couple of weeks in India so I’ll soon be doing some special blog entries on that with images. They’ll also be a new […]
Rush hour rush
People rush at rush hour. A mass of people all walking slightly out of sync with each other in the same direction, and each person in their own world – only seeing other people as obstacles that they have to get around. Collectively sometimes they look like an army, other times fast moving zombies. Many […]
