Disengaging a bit in Kanda-Jimbocho
Kanda-Jimbocho, Tokyo, July 10, 2004. Leica M6, CV 35mm f/2.5 P, Konica Pan 400
Here’s a new series shot in Tokyo’s Kanda-Jimbocho, often called the largest book market in the world due to the high concentration of new and secondhand bookstores one can find there (135-plus stores). Wasn’t feeling very engaged when shooting these, hence the series’ title. Perhaps I’ve been too engaged in shooting of late. Sometimes it’s good to relax a bit.
I previously wrote about this area of Tokyo here.

uh, yeah Mark I did, though “pick up” is probably not the verb Naoko would use

I imagine Naoko is using, “Squandered life savings and Kaika’s College fund”

Remind me to get one of those doggoned dome hats next time I’m in Tokyo (Sept) — will at least hide my blond head a bit
I like Kanda-Jimbocho too ( http://www.botzilla.com/photo/J2003/J2003-74.html ) — great for us superficial foreign photographers, heh.
