another weekend, another beautiful saturday…just can’t stay in doors when the world outside is coming out of it’s season long malaise. the vibrancy and life in the air is palpable. families, old couples, young couples, friends, solo travelers, school groups, visitors and locals alike all out in the sunshine…everybody loves the sunshine. the city alive and thriving, alive and well, and me alive within it. i love the city. some shots from a day in ueno

so spring is finally here. went into the city for a re-up on that good urban life. the life blood that keeps me going, keeps me inspired and keeps me creating. every time i walk the streets i see some little thing that gives me energy. whether it’s the first cherry blossom tree of the season in daikanyama park, or catching a truck full of construction workers following a beautiful girl with their eyes as she walks past on the street, the hustle and bustle of busy harajuku back streets teaming with young people or the quiet lanes of naka-meguro full of amazing street cafes and shops. the poetry of the city, the noises, smells, sites, action. there is a life running through the veins of tokyo like no other! some photos from a stroll through a favorite neighborhood: naka-meguro. peace
