Tokyo day trip to Kawagoe. I really dig Kentmere Pan 200. It's basically my go-to stock these days. This was on my Leica M6 and Minolta 40mm f2 lens. Superb combo! #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #believeinfilm #photographersonbluesky #filmphotography #monochrome #bw #Tokyo

Ōmori, Tokyo. Some of the best Showa izakaya street vibes in town. I seldom set out with just a 28mm lens, but for this session, I'm glad I did. #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #NightPhotography #nightscape #lowlight #photographersonbluesky #TokyoGritandGrain #Tokyo

I absolutely love back-street "Deep" Tokyo and I'm sure you'd dig it, too! Honestly, I want to bring all my photo pals here. Have a read! #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #NightPhotography #nightscape #lowlight #photographersonbluesky #YouTube substack.com/home/post/p-...

To follow up with the latest "Deep Tokyo" photos, I've created a video that I hope you enjoy. #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #NightPhotography #nightscape #lowlight #photographersonbluesky #YouTube #NoirTokyo #FilmAtmosphere #TokyoGritandGrain youtu.be/aX25nP7oLtw?...

Using 28mm, I'm drawn to the wholeness of these scenes. The environment plays in to why they exist & maybe how. Neighborhood joints that exist for the community, not the tourist #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #NightPhotography #nightscape #lowlight #photographersonbluesky

Well, my one and only shot I'd like to share for the #FP4party #Believeinfilm #film #filmphotography

Absolute BANGER of a session tonight! It was a bit of a trek to get here, but the night scenes just rocked my socks off! #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #NightPhotography #nightscape #lowlight #photographersonbluesky

Breaktime. Done with Shimbashi. #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #Tokyo #photographersonbluesky

I can only guess how long these lanterns have been hanging in this spot. The one in the front left is deteriorating and the others behind are quickly on their way out, also. I'll visit next year and they'll probably be in the same spot. #photographersunited #urbanphotography #photographersonbluesky

Stairs in Alfred Hitchcock movies lead to nothing good. Thankfully, this is Japan in 2026. Textures and history abound. #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #NightPhotography #nightscape #lowlight #photographersonbluesky

My #coffee #pourovers go directly into a thermos now. The glass container I previously used allowed the coffee to cool down too quickly. I will have none of that! 😏

I set out this afternoon for a quick photowalk. Most of my b&w images are on film, so using a digital camera today was pretty cool. I used a lens from the mid '50s and I just love the results. www.tokyoheavy.com/p/tokyo-mono... #photographersunited #urbanphotography #photographersonbluesky

A bit of a photowalk in Toritsudaigaku last night. #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #NightPhotography #nightscape #lowlight #photographersonbluesky

Tokyo is always revealing and interesting. Seeing the old buildings, custom delivery bikes, izakayas' lanters, and timely cherry blossoms on the ground seems profound sometimes. #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #NightPhotography #nightscape #lowlight #photographersonbluesky

Vintage vibes in Meguro, Tokyo. #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #NightPhotography #nightscape #lowlight #photographersonbluesky

My recent show in Tokyo featured this image, but for this session, I used a wider-angle lens. I think the tighter shot is composed much better, but the wider one is still fun. #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #NightPhotography #nightscape #lowlight #photographersonbluesky

This building (and a couple surrounding it) is super cool. This scene is super popular, so I wanted different angles, etc. Check it out! #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #believeinfilm #bwfilm #film #photographersonbluesky www.tokyoheavy.com/p/curves-amo...

One of my fave corners of Tokyo. The grit & grime, the old signs & fonts that look like they're from the '70s, make this space a highlight of the area. #photographersunited #urbanphotography #streetphotography #NightPhotography #nightscape #lowlight #photographersonbluesky

Proceeds to NOT restart my device. What a horrible update for every #Pixel user out there, IMO.

Me, up on my tiptoes, trying to capture the scene from one side of an izakaya's lantern that was broken and with holes on the sides. #BelieveInFilm #FilmPhotography #KentmerePan200 #Film #Tokyo

Thanks a TON to the new subscribers on my #YouTube channel. I really enjoy sharing my experiences and showing my images. There's something about being on the street and actually making something as opposed to AI generating slop. どうもありがとうございます！ www.youtube.com/@TokyoGritan...

LED in Takadanobaba, Tokyo. Photography at night is always my fave time to capture images around my city, and over the last few years, I'm seeing more LED lights that appear to be neon when they actually are not. The diffusion filter is pretty powerful. #LED #Neon #Tokyo #nightphotography

Two fellas checking out the menu on this joint. Gyoza and such. They opened the door to see a packed house and weren't able to get a seat. At least I got a shot or two in! #Tokyo #Alley #Izakaya #UrbanPhotography #Photography #Photographer #Neon

Absolutely epic back street in Takadanobaba, Tokyo - the kind of scene I love so much. Not a soul around. Creepy cool spot that actually seems warm and delightful up close. I'm going back. #photography #streetphotography #urbanphotography #tokyo #izakaya #backstreets #mood #vibe

Given the right lighting & such, I really like the ROLLEI PAUL & REINHOLD film. I'm not one for sunny days. I like overcast scenes; I prefer making my own contrasts. And yeah, it's probably time to throw the old lamp away. Charming? Yes/No? #BelieveInFilm #FilmPhotography #Tokyo #Film #Monochrome

I'm REALLY into my new-to-me Pentax MX. It's small, many parts made of brass (super cool aging), and the lenses are stellar. Check out my first roll — Kentmere Pan 200 #BelieveInFilm #FIlmPhotography #Monochrome #BW #BlackandWhite #Kentmere #Tokyo youtu.be/Eovtk_iiAFY?...

Those older department stores with a basement level that has old #kimono shops are the best.

What a great shot!

Stellar trip to Fukuoka these past few days. I'm not one for shooting in the rain, but i like what I crafted. I shot about 400 images and many were just single frames. One and done. #photography #vintage #oldstyle #darkness #Japan #Fukuoka

Sometimes my phone captures good vibes. However, no matter how many times I turn off the HDR settings, it seems to stay on. Oh well. #japan #teampixel #vacation #green

This space is run by an old fella who's probably been here for three or four decades. I have a few more images of the space and the stuff surrounding it, but I like these frames the most. #BelieveInFilm #FilmPhotography #Film #Tokyo #Kentmere #PentaxMX #50mm

I ran some Kentmere Pan 400 through my Pen EE, which only goes to ISO 200. The outcome was good. Dev'd at ISO 200. The camera's fun, but I'm going to get rid of it because I just don't use it very much. #halfframe #believeinfilm #film #filmphotography #OlympusPen #35mm

First shots with my new-to-me Pentax MX • 50mm f1.7 • Kentmere Pan 200 • Kodak D-76 developer - I put this thing thru the lighting ringer. Hard shadows, mid-tones galore, dark scenes, etc. and needless to say, I'm f'n stoked on this combo #Pentax #KentmerePan200 #BelieveInFilm #Film #FIlmphotography

My b&w film photography lives over on Medium. Here's my latest on Rollei Paul & Reinhold. 36 frames. #film #believeinfilm #filmphotography #monochrome #streetphotography #urbanphotography #tokyo jgarcia-tokyo.medium.com/made-with-ro...
