BTW there was a tie on last week’s poll! The two winners are “Cuties on a train” and “Loco in the pink!”
Can’t believe I came in a tie with two cuties! (-;

Raw Like Sushi
Lady in a Cafe.
Cuz she reminds me I don’t wanna ever be that old.;)
I second that! Thanks for voting yo!
I love tanabata, so I had to vote for that one. Plus it’s just very… peaceful. I really like that.
Yeah I kinda dig that one myself (-; it is peaceful, just like my school, while classes are in session anyway, which is when i took that pic! Thanks for the love CJ!
Was very hard 2 choose, lobe the flower and ghost, that’s the one I went for.
But also loved the sleeping guys on the train, Hachico and the little school girls and more.
Thank Loco.
Thanks for the shout Elana! Glad you’re digging my work. (-; I love those little school girls too. I see them every day and I want to shoot them every day. Hachiko must be one of the most shot objects in Japan so I felt strange trying to make it look interesting. Glad it was a little successful. (-;
How’d you do that ghost effect? Or was it…a real ghost…
It’s a trade secret baby! Confidential. I could tell you…but then I’d have to, you know, make it difficult for people to find you lol
and, lemme guess… you could tell her only in person?
Biggie, you mind reading sage
Unfortunately, this week was much easier to decide on Flowers and Ghost. That one I’m just trying to figure out how you got it to look that way on a single-shot Instagram shot. Everything else is just little snapshots of Japan that maybe your average person who has never been might find fascinating but to me feels too much like everything I see everyday with a vintage filter slapped on without much in the way of composition or quirky moments in the madness that I saw even in #5.
To end on a positive note, We Are One is pretty nifty with the bold colors too but the ghost continues to fascinate.
Thanks yo. I see what you mean. Actually I took your advice and used the filters only on a couple of these shots. The black and white ones of course. The flowers ghost shot was done with a HDR app. Mystery solved lol. I’ll try harder next week. Homely I can catch some better moments. Composition is always just luck with me. Appreciate the time you took to give your assessment the frankness. Not looking for cheerleaders just to improve (-;
