I can't see anything "vivid" on those pictures, honestly.
- coldtea 8y agoYeah, it's more like "everyday street life in residential areas" than "vivid street life".
- ggm 8y agoMe neither. They seemed badly framed and intruisive to many of the subjects. Street photography demands some respect for privacy or at least more discreet shooting
- tokyodude 8y agoit's actually illegal in Japan to take pictures of people or their possessions without permission. As a hobbist youre unlikely to get sued but it's one of the reasons Google Maps had to add face blurring to Street View. I found out when some guy had some bunnies out on a Sunday is Shinjuku. I went to take pictures and was told angrily "NO PICTURES". I thought it was silly that he'd say that when we was displaying his bunnies in public but I looked up the law and found by Japanese law it's the illegal.
- dmos62 8y agoIsn't vividness in the eye of the beholder, like beauty?

- afpx 8y agoI’m glad I’m not the only one. I was pretty excited to see some amazing photos. Instead, it was like flipping through a creeper’s instagram feed.
- Lambdanaut 8y agoI can. Honestly, and this may sound jackassish, but I'm not surprised many won't connect to these photos. The point is to bring up memories and feelings from one's own life of moments with psychological imprints similar to the photos. It was all INCREDIBLY nostalgic for me. Every photo brought on a wave of powerful nostalgia.
- jiveturkey 8y agothanks, same here. it's urban photography, and very mundane examples of it. the "tokyo" label is clickbait i guess.
