Walking Home

It looks black and white -- but it is not.

Moon Overhead

It was a dark and stormy night ...

5:00

It is getting dark a lot earlier now.

Potential

I should buy more of these senkohanabi. There is definite long-exposure potential here.

Crescent Moon

I really liked the silhouette of the wires with the crescent moon.

The Red Streak

My bus is always behind schedule, but this is Japan, so it is predictably late.

Phantom Biker

The outline of a junior high boy going home from school.

The Bar Window

The bar at this establishment is right in the street. Takeout anyone?

A Closer Look

The crowd on a cool Friday night in September.

I remember nights like this when I was living in Tokyo.

Alley Party

Not really a party, but these bars were full and the people were standing in the street.

Mr Taxi

The taxis of Sendai Station on a Friday night.

Eagles Mania

The Rakuten Eagles signs above Loft across from Sendai Station.

Panels on the Ground

Aoba Street is all torn up because of the construction of the new subway line.

The Tozai Line will open in 2015.

Congratulations Rakuten

The Rakuten Golden Eagles started the season in 2005 and have pretty much been in the bottom of the barrel since then. This year though, they won their league and are in the Japan Series.

Apparently there are many golden eagles up here in Japan, but I haven't yet seen one to my knowledge.

Night Alley

I had brought my camera downtown to test its ISO capabilities. Here I was focusing on the man in the white shirt at 6400.

Outside Bar

With the weather getting chillier, outside restaurants have to come up with ideas to make the customers feel comfortable.

Ginza

Looking in to Ginza from the other side.

From the Hip

This was shot from the hip walking downtown one night.

Sendai Ginza

Yes, there is an area called Ginza in Sendai too. (I have seen the name in several areas.)

This Ginza is a small drinking/eating alley with several small, interesting shops.

6400 Night

A Friday night on the town.
