Almost exactly twenty years ago was when I last visited #NewYorkCity. It was a simpler time. Today's #UrbanGaze theme is an opportunity to show a few photos from that trip.

Suidobashi, October, 2020.

Good evening from #Tokyo! Had to go to the office a day earlier than usual this week today - but still made time to take some night photos on the way home in the backstreets of #Itabashi Ward. #photography #streetphotography #nightphotography #japan #ArtYear #EastCoastKin @bskyphotos.bsky.social

While Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are puffing themselves up in front of the U.S. military leaders at Quantico, I would like to remind everyone of an important historical detail: “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

Happy new week from Japan! As it's #MountainMonday and #BlueSkyMonday, I offer this view shot 22 years ago at Snake River Overlook in Grand Teton National Park with my first digital camera (HP PhotoSmart 850). #photography #naturephotography #wyoming #ArtYear #EastCoastKin @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Happy weekend from #Japan! For the #BlueSkyArtShow topic of #TheRoad, here is “Road to Nowhere”, a photo of endless prairies and fluffy clouds along State Hwy 29 near Mitchell, #Nebraska. #photography #naturephotography #photographersofbluesky #scape #ArtYear #EastCoastKin @bskyphotos.bsky.social

my daughter really captured my essence in this portrait of me “at work”

Happy Friday to all! 7 years ago today, my wife and I left #Germany to start our new life in #Japan. As you can see, the environment was very much the opposite of #Tokyo - I sometimes miss waking up to the sound of birds singing. #photography #scape #ArtYear #EastCoastKin @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Good morning from #Tokyo! I did quick edits on some of last night's photos, so here is a set of four quiet backstreet night photos from #Itabashi Ward for all #UrbanGaze connoisseurs. #photography #streetphotography #nightphotography #japan #scape #ArtYear #EastCoastKin @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Days are getting shorter - so we are easing into the season where I can finally take night photos again on my way home from the office 🚶‍♂️☺️ Some previews from this evening. #Itabashi Ward, #Tokyo. #photography #streetphotography #nightphotography #japan #ArtYear #EastCoastKin @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Good morning from #Tokyo on a bright Wednesday! I am working at the office today, and the view from the 18th floor never gets old. Also a nice showcase for @heliographe.studio’s #panoramic #65x24 app. #photography #streetphotography #japan #ArtYear #EastCoastKin #UrbanGaze @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Hi from #Tokyo! For an outside lunch on today’s bank holiday (Autumn Equinox), we went to “Akabane Cafe にじいろのひつじ”, 10 minutes by bike from where I live. Shkmeruli (Georgian garlic chicken), coffee and sweet potato chiffon cake. 👍 #photography #cafe #food #japan #ArtYear @bskyphotos.bsky.social

What movie do you consider perfect?

Went to SKAC (SKWAT Kameari Art Center) in Nishikameari, #Tokyo, today. Interesting space underneath the JR tracks filled with vinyl records and photo/art books. First photo is statue of a local manga character. #photography #streetphotography #japan #ArtYear #EastCoastKin @bskyphotos.bsky.social

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Happy Friday & good evening from #Tokyo! Feels like at least 3 months since I went outside wearing long sleeves - just returned from a walk at a comfortable 22°C. Some night shots from the ‘hood. #photography #streetphotography #japan #itabashi #scape #ArtYear #EastCoastKin @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Good evening from #Tokyo! Another set of four #ClassicMono evening photos from #Itabashi Ward, taken yesterday evening on my way home from work with the #Hipstamatic app on my iPhone. #photography #streetphotography #japan #UrbanGaze #scape #ArtYear #EastCoastKin @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Good evening from #Tokyo! Today, as on most Wednesdays, was my office day, and on the way home I got off the subway two stops earlier to shoot some #ClassicMono neighborhood scenes in #Itabashi Ward. #photography #streetphotography #japan #UrbanGaze #ArtYear #EastCoastKin @bskyphotos.bsky.social

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Good morning from Tokyo! It's #RockinTuesday, and today I present a photo from #Austria for that occasion. This was shot at Liechtenstein Gorge, located in the Austrian Alps, 50 km south of #Salzburg. #photography #naturephotography #scenicphotography #ArtYear #EastCoastKin @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Happy birthday to Kate Bush’s album “Hounds of Love”, released 40 years ago today on September 16, 1985. A timeless classic of ever there was one; I still love it as much (probably even more) now as back then when I had given it a first listen at age 18. #music #80smusic #katebush #classicalbums

“How you die does not redeem how you lived”. Amen to that.

ICYMI: Tourists’ broken and abandoned suitcases are making headlines in Japan. Which raises the question: what do you do if your luggage craps the bed mid-trip? Here’s why broken suitcases are becoming such a problem – and how to dispose of yours responsibly.

I used to look forward to logging into BlueSky. Atm, not so much. It’s become an ocean of armchair activism, grandstanding, virtue signaling & pointless outrage at what some bad person said or did. On your deathbed, are you seriously going to look back and say “God, that was a great use of my time”?

Omg enough of this just give me one of these and one of those pls

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

Good morning from #Tokyo! For fun and for comparison, here is the same set of photos as last night, but this time the original color versions not processed or cropped by the Hipstamatic app. #photography #streetphotography #UrbanGaze #itabashi #japan #ArtYear #EastCoastKin @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Hot take: folks are very much underestimating how important reasomanly fast and accurte typing is

Finally home and tired after a long day at the office today. Here are a few #ClassicMono photos taken on the way back with the #Hipstamatic app. #Tokyo #Itabashi #Japan #photography #streetphotography #photographersofbluesky #ArtYear #EastCoastKin #UrbanGaze @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Happy Monday from Japan! For #MountainMonday / #BlueSkyMonday, a throwback to last year's #Europe vacation with this scene from #Hallstatt, #Austria, as seen from "the vantage point where everyone goes". #photography #scenicphotography #Stunday #ArtYear #EastCoastKin @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Short clip from today’s #drumming practice at a neighborhood studio. I finally was able to keep up with the speed of Wilson Pickett’s “Land of 1000 Dances”. 🎶 #drummingphotographer #tokyo #japan #ArtYear @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Good morning from #Tokyo! Activity-packed Saturday ahead with kickboxing in the morning, and drumming practice in the afternoon. Here are a few B-sides from last night’s neighborhood walk. #photography #streetphotography #itabashi #japan #scape #ArtYear #EastCoastKin @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Can’t recall the last time I stepped outside & it was less than 30°C, so tonight’s short walk at 26°C was quite refreshing (it’ll get hot again soon enough).

Happy Friday from #Japan! For today's #scape theme, a set of #filmphotography from Rokkakudo Temple in #Kyoto, famous as the birthplace of Ikebana. Details in ALT texts. 📷 #Mamiya 6, 50mm f/4 🎞️ #Fujicolor Pro 400H #photography #streetphotography #ArtYear #EastCoastKin @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Just a little taste of Harlowton, MT.
