Happy Winter Solstice everyone. May it be filled with glimpses of light.

D found us a new place to walk not too far from where we live and it was gorgeous.

Two triptychs of night time taxis in Tokyo. Over the past 20+ years, the taxis here became an obsession of mine, Less and less nowadays are colourfully coloured. But you can still find plenty around the country. As a Tokyoite, a fantastic part of the cinematic landscape of this city. Night or day.
Nighttime triptych of 2.76:1 aspecy ratio shots taken in Tokyo some years back. Top: taxi driver reading in his cab. Middle: a young lady walks towards the camera in the rain, carrying an umbrella. A taxi in the background. Bottom: A low angle of the feet of someone waiting to cross the road. A taxi drives towards the camera, its lights straking into the lens. A triptych of 2.39:1 cinematic aspect ratio photographs made at night in Tokyo. From top to bottom: the company logo and light on top of the taxi's roof. Middle photo is of a driver, side-on, looking out of his windscreen whilst waiting in traffic. Last photo is on Shibuya crossing, the focus is all on the nearside wing-mirror in which there is a clear, sharp reflection of the driver of the taxi. The city is bokeh in the background and it's myriad lights reflected on the side windows of the cab.
