There’s nothing spectacular or particularly unusual in any of these recently taken Tokyo photos. Quite the opposite really, as they are mostly everyday scenes that can be witnessed in some form or other all over the capital. They are though especially prevalent in the city’s older neighbourhoods, which is why I favour these locations for a lot of my photowalk tours, and my own meanders.
The decidedly ordinary nature of the images, however, doesn’t make them any less worthwhile, or indeed enjoyable. At least not for me, anyway. The commonplace and mundane all too easily end up missed or ignored, and yet when appreciated for what they are, these small moments and brief interactions often feel genuinely memorable.

These are so good as always. It’s a gift to see the extraordinary in the ordinary. You have it Lee and I’m grateful you share it.
Lee says
Thanks so much. That’s really kind of you and much appreciated. Visiting these places and photographing them is very much a labour of love, so sharing them makes total sense. Even more so if others like them as well.
