Chasing LightWelcome. This is where I share my work and also the work of others, those that inspire me, the weird, the great, the unusual.
It is a goddamn marvel this life. Take a look.
Tokyo | Harajuku, Alice on Wednesday
Tokyo is a city that richly rewards those who wander.
Tokyo | Kanda Yabu Soba
I have a simple rule when I am traveling or doing my wandering thing: when I see a line of locals waiting for a restaurant, I must abandon my plans and also get in line. Even if I have just eaten, it does not matter, because this has nothing to do with hunger.
Watabe Yukichi | A Criminal Investigation
The cinematic quality, the heavy noir tone, the procedural elements of the investigation harken to the great Hollywood noir classics but especially to the Kurosawa police procedurals, High and Low and Stray Dog.
Hiroshi Watanabe | Rikishi (2005)
I am not sure if I am successful professional photographer. If “successful professional” means I can live a good, somewhat luxurious, life by the profession, then I am certainly not.

Tokyo | Shibuya Crossing
One of the most photographed intersections in the world, I went there a few times, trying to capture something that was different.
Tokyo | Ueno
I don’t know why, but I cannot stop shooting crosswalks.
