Title: Green City - Tokyo, Japan
Date: 2019
Description: The Imperial Palace Garden in the middle of Tokyo. It really struck me how in such a huge, dense urban city as Tokyo could have these pockets of nature. It was really quiet and peaceful in the park, but you could still look up and see tall buildings in any direction. I really admired the respect for nature and allowing room for these green spaces.

Title: TOKYO IS YOURS - Japan
Date: 2014
Description: Tokyo was an amazing experience for me. The city seemed so developed and alive, while still managing to keep in touch with traditional Japanese culture. I was able to see much more of just a sheer variation of people in Toyko. From businessmen in suits, to guys with crazy spiked orange hair, to girls dressed up like something out of a cartoon. With all of the different shops selling clothes matching each and every different style, Tokyo really seemed like a city where one could be themselves and do what they wanted. It also helped that the weather was wonderful. This particular photo was taken in a more edgy, counter-culture, university age district. As one can see the graffiti and alternative stickers plastered all over the sign. This photo made me realize that despite its size, even a city of 25 million people is a different space to each and every separate person in it. The people make the city, not the other way around.

Title: Tokyo Skytree

Description: I took this photo through my umbrella looking up at Tokyo Skytree. I thought it was incredible how it faded into the clouds because of how tall Skytree is. Skytree is the tallest building in Japan.
