I love to shoot handrails, especially on rainy nights.

118: 04/27/2012: 30-Minute Walk in a Local Town on Flickr.

I try to take a walk as long as I can every day. It’s part of the rehabilitation. I need to strengthen my leg muscles that were damaged at the accident. Today, I didn’t have time to walk during the lunch time, so I walked home without taking a train. These are the fragments of the town I saw while walking in the drizzle.

I had two things I wanted to do when I went up on the observatory deck and the roof of Mori Tower, Roppongi Hills. First, I wanted to see the hospital building I stayed from December to January. I saw Mori Tower from there every day. The second thing I wanted to do is to take a photo of Ichinohashi Junction of Metropolitan Expressway from above. So here it is. The main subject of this shot is not Tokyo Tower, mind you.

I took a walk in the nearby park. Not the one near the hospital, but the one near my home. The lens I brought with me was a macro lens, which I didn’t have at the hospital because I didn’t think I would need it for shooting nurses :p Anyway, these are the bud of field mustard. They were starting to bloom.

02/29/2012: Snow in Tokyo #creative366project on Flickr.

We had snow on the leap day of 2012. I hated to walk to the station on a crutch in the morning, but I forgot about that once I held a camera. The crutch was in my left arm, an umbrella in my left hand. the camera my right hand … I squeeze the focus ring of the lens with my left hand that was holding the umbrella … Complicated.

02/27/2012: Cocoon Tower #creative366project on Flickr.

I rode on a train with a crutch. I wanted to see if I have no problem in commuting by train. I get off at Shinjuku, and walked around the west side of the station. I always look up this tower building at this spot. I like the reflection of the building on the glass case of the elevator.

02/19/2012: Fisheye Daiba #creative366project on Flickr.

I went back home from hospital just for a night. On the way home, my brother kindly took me to Daiba, Minato Ward, and I was able to try Samyang 7.5mm f/3.5 UMC Fish-eye MFT which I had bought several days ago. I need to learn how it works.

We had snow on the previous night. I didn’t know that because I went to bed so early … Any way the nurse opened the curtains this morning and let us know that the roofs down there were white with snow. So I grabbed my camera, said hello to the other patients who were sharing the room, and shot the view. I usually shoot the western sky from the lobby seen behind the windows on the right. I like the reflection of the landscape on those glasses.

02/09/2012: The Morning Full Moon #creative366project on Flickr.

I walked all the way to Roppongi Hills today. It was the longest walking distance since I started the rehab. I enjoy shooting photos on the way to the destination, but I was so tired on the way back. It was a little too long a walk.

The photo for today was not taken during the walk. This is the full moon in the western sky over Shibuya I saw the first thing in the morning. I saw it from my bed, grab my camera and lenses, ran to the lobby. Ah, sorry I lied. I couldn’t run with my injured right leg.
