Shibuya crossing. If you could pick a favourite crossing in the world I guess I would have to pick this one, in the heart of Tokyo. An always crowded place and great for people watching. It has been featured in media quite a lot, e.g. in the Lost in Translation and the music video for Read my Mind by the Killers.

“Lane Fire”. A woman passing a fire lane when she’s crossing one of the avenues in New York. I don’t remember which avenue. New York is a very photogenic city. Lots of mixed old and new architecture, interesting people, neon lights and yellow cabs. They all contribute to the photogenicness. Although this photo was not a close-up shot, I must say that it is easier to get away with taking photos of people, cause I am a tourist, and tourists take photos. It just feels more difficult back home.
