My brother and I arrived in Tokyo this evening and took the Narita Express to Tokyo Station.  We’re staying at this great hotel that my friend Paul recommended, the Sanuki Club in the Azabujuban neighborhood. This whole city is like some giant prayer to the graphic and industrial design gods. I don’t think I could get enough pictures of it all if I was here for a year, everywhere you look is some perfectly thought out sign or machine. I think I took 20 pictures in the airport bathroom alone.  I’ll try to post as much interesting stuff as I can find over the coming week.

I’m at the airport about to leave for Tokyo, then it’s on to Thailand, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Prague, and finally London. All told it will be about a month of travel during which time I may not be posting here quite as often as usual.  But I will try to post as many shots of interesting things I find along the way.  The above image is from the Flickr Tilt-Shift pool, an interesting photography technique I’ll be posting more on later.
Hope everyone is having a good new year!

Thought I’d kick the new year off proper with a song from the French Kicks album "Two Thousand".  Buy the album, it’s great, here’s a taste. French Kicks – So Far We Are:
