Saturday. I decided to have a day away from the office and instead head to one of my favourite little coffee shops, Bun Coffee in Ichigaya. It is a bit of a train ride away but they serve up Byron Bay coffee in the best Australian style.
They also do an affogato with a delicious twist: fruit and nuts at the bottom of the cup, then ice cream then coffee. I figure the fruits and nuts qualify it for health food.
As a nice little coffee shop, I was able to get a little bit of work/writing done too, in that faux-romantic ideal of writing a bestseller in a coffee shop. One day.

Heading back to the train station, I realised that although I have the best office view in Tokyo, I also spend quite a bit of time underground each day. I recall the complexities of the underground world quite perplexed me as a new resident in Tokyo thirty years ago. But now, I take them for granted.
Not so much for granted that the space is not worth photographing.

I suppose too, I'm trying to break through my camera-shyness barrier to start taking a different sort of photograph, Tokyo and its people and every day life. Takes a bit more courage than a chance shot outside the office window. But I'm willing to give it a shot.
