Creativity in the mundane.
Midnight Flowers, Daikanyama /
Tokyo is exploding with spring now -- flowers on things you never imagined had the ability to produce flowers.. Great time of year.
Dumpster Diving, Shibuya /
Eight well-worn Vitra Eames DSR chairs extracted from a dumpster of a construction site.. Poor condition, the black polypropylene shells are heavily scored, bases are rusted and feet are damaged or outright gone.
It's that moment of discovery that we've all heard about and hoped to discover -- a stash of mid-century objects discarded in haste -- good times. Now, what to do with a fleet of black polypropylene shells?
New Miu, Aoyama /
HERZOG & DE MEURON`s beautiful new store in Aoyama opened March 28. Rich, textural, immersive.
Today's Date, Shibuya Station /
I walk by this organic declaration daily -- somehow missed my birthday the day before, even though I made a mental note to do so about 300 times in the last year I missed the shot.
Grandfather's, Shibuya /
Grandfather's Rock and Roll Bar, serving up vinyl grooves and grilled squid smoke since 1971.
Elevating, Shibuya /
Somewhere between cappuccino and rust. Showa-era organic.
Chuo Line(s), Nakano /
On the way to Fujiya Camera. Just the right amount of flop in that lid.
Tsukiji /
After a decade in Tokyo, finally a visit to the Tsukiji fish market.. Immersive collage.
Red Flag at Yuigahama /
Typhoon #11 approaches.
The beach at Yuigahama closed to swimmers and surfers.
Romance Car to Katase-Enoshima /
Tiger stripes are back!
Shinjuku Station /
Sunday, 7a and you have the place to yourself.
Shinjuku Station /
Craftsmanship everywhere in these ageing Showa-era structures.
The Commute, Shibuya /
Shibuya's evening hustle.
Odd that the rush to get to work on time often applies to the return home.
Residence, Aoyama /
One of the handful of Showa-era homes remaining in Kita-Aoyama. Simple, clean facades upon basic structures.
