Tokyo is a city people either hate or love. I'm in the latter group, feeling there better than in New York, London, or Paris.
This was my second there; the slides from the first one, twenty years ago, were hopelessly botched by the processing lab; this time I took my Olympus E-20 digital camera which has proven itself well — except that it is fairly heavy to carry around, especially with the auxiliary lenses. Well, I'm quite happy with the results. Have a look.
