Wow! As usual, very nice street photos Patrick!
How the heck they let you snap pictures right in front of them is beyond me...
If I do that here I'm sure I'll get king hitted.

WOW...amazing pics!

How do you get such bright, sharp, vivid night shots Your film speed must have been over 1/60 to freeze the walkers, but the pics are bright and vivid.

I can either get sharp and dark or bright and blurry

Thank you, that's what I do for a living and I don't use a point and shoot ;-)

Don't know if all Tokyo is that clean but the streets in the pictures appear spotless. What are they making in picture #12?

I love Tokyo, your pictures are great. I can't wait to go back, I'll be there on March 11th!

And yes, almost all Japanese streets are that clean. Nearly all things are spotless, from trains, to public toilets...

Great photos, reminds me so much of my short time in Tokyo.

Those taxi top lights are weird, and the pastel green colour of the taxi's is very cool.

So many electricity wires on the telegraph poles which are everywhere, quite amazing.

I hope you had a great time

All of you should come here sometime in your life. Its an amazing place. I love Japan!

Great pics!

Pic 12 is a confectionary. A baked bread in the shape of fish with sweet paste inside. Quite popular.

Jim its a pastry called Tai Yaki. Cooked right in front of you it has a sweet creamy filling. Not as tasty as it looks in my humble opinion.
