Tokyo has countless amazing spots for all kinds of photography, be it street, portraiture, night, events, etc., you can find it all here. But anyone who has ever visited or lives i Tokyo will tell you, that architecture is quite unique, and photographing it is a real joy for anyone who enjoys capturing intriguing images. I have a few favorite spots in Tokyo, and one of them is Odaiba, a place where you can spend days and days and never run out of things to shoot, The cool thing about Odaiba is a mixture of modern structures, futuristic shapes, crazy stuff, open spaces and amazing vistas of central Tokyo. Here is a photo taken on the way to Tokyo Big Sight during sunset against the dark and stormy sky. The contrast between saturated colors and dark tones of the clouds was stunning.

Kotokuin of Kamkura - possibly the most famous Buddhist temple where you can admire the 13 meters tall bronze statue of Amida Buddha. Kotokuin is not my favourite place to visit in Kamakura, (I prefer Kenchouji temple of Zen Buddhism, which has incredible atmosphere), but it is definitely one of those spots you should go to while traveling around Tokyo. The best time to go there is at 8 am during weekdays (this is the opening time), and you just may be the only person one on one with this peaceful being. Once more people arrive, the energy is disturbed and half the charm is gone. It took me a few tries to separate Kate from the crowd so I can capture her alone sitting on the stone base of the statue (yeah, I had no tripod, so the photshop magic disappearing act via masking would not work).

Well, I must say, this is probably the luckiest capture of mine. I was in Narita san Buddhist temple complex the other day, just about 1h by train from Tokyo, and I was walking through the temple park. I was shocked when I saw this old Japanese building tucked in between some trees. It is not usual to see ruined unattended structures on the temple grounds, and especially parks like that at Narita san. This park is being maintained very well. So anyways, I spotted it and pulled up my camera with a 70-200 mm lens mounted on and took one shot, then I stepped down to 70 mm to take a wide shot which would have the entire structure in frame. Just before I pressed the shutter I said to myself "I wish I had someone there in that entrance, so it doesnt look so empty and lifeless". The moment I said that this guy came out of nowhere. He was so perfect I nearly forgot to take the photo. The cigarette, the 100 yards stare, those two dogs (one of them is Shiba breed, so you could not get more Japanese than that), and even his shirt matched that laundry hanger to the top left (both were blue). I mean this photo could not be any more perfect. It is a gift from Buddha for carrying a DLSR with battery grip and a massive lens in my hand all day long.

Shichigosan is a early event for your kids, and IO wrote a separate article about it last year, so read more here if you are interested in what it actually is. I took this photo in Kamakura yesterday. There were so many small kids there dashing about in kimono, it was so freaking cute that I just couldn't leave. I wanted to capture something special, something that would tell a story about the event but at the same time allow you to have a glimpse into a private moment between a growing daughter and her mom, who is and always will be there to guide her. There is a saying - if you are good you are lucky, so here you go,, enjoy :-)
