Good morning from Tokyo! Today is this week’s office day - upon arriving at Otemachi Station, I fired up the Hipstamatic app to capture some monochrome urban morning scenes. Details in ALT texts.

Happy Friday from Japan!

Fushimi Ward in Kyoto is famous for "that shrine with the many orange toori gates". It is also a major sake-producing area and a pleasant district to explore.

Which of these would you like best for a weekend creative retreat: lake house, mountain cabin, city apartment, or oceanside hotel? Alone or with others?

The lake house, alone.

Happy Monday from Tokyo!

To start the week, a set of four previously unpublished photos from my birth town of Graz, Austria. Ten years ago, there was a camera app called “6x6” that I used quite a lot.

Happy Friday from Japan! Glad to wrap up this surprisingly busy week.

A digest of Tokyo backstreet moments, mostly from my home ward of Itabashi. I love running into, and capturing, scenes like this.

So proud of my tall #sunflowers
