Ginza Crossing

Newer Older

Bonenkai (year end) parties started last week here in Japan.

Its customary to pretty much spend every night of the first two weeks in December going out with various groups of friends, co-workers, industry contacts, and pretty much anyone else you've met at one point in your life ;-)

The idea is for all friends/contacts to celebrate the end of yet another (hopefully) successful year and wish each other the best of luck for another healthy and (again hopefully) prosperous following year.

As a result I've either been seriously intoxicated or seriously hungover every day this month...ugh. Only one more week to go ;-) Also explains why I have to dig back to an old picture to post, as I've been to bleary-eyed to shoot straight otherwise!

Non-HDR pic taken with my compact Canon IXY 910 of Ginza crossing of the throngs of people going about their business in Tokyo, Japan.

Patrícia EKN, Toni_V, LaBetenoir, and 947 other people added this photo to their favorites.

    Dear photographer,

    In a few weeks, a limited edition of the famous Nespresso CitiZ machine, displaying the lights and colours of Paris and New York will be unveiled.

    On this occasion, Nespresso is organising a worldwide photography contest on the topic of urban architecture. Following the results, the winning photographer will have the privilege of acquiring his own and unique CitiZ machine, customised with his picture.

    Your picture corresponds to the chosen subject and its quality succeeded on seducing us. That’s why, as a part of the competition and before the official launching of the website, we’re inviting you to take part in this event by joining the Nespresso CitiZ Dot Contest group and adding in your picture: www.flickr.com/groups_join.gne?id=1335072@N24

    Kind Regards,
    Nespresso team

    It's too bad it's impossible to take this picture now. They changed the lightpoles and they put one right at the corner of the block, so it blocks this view :(
