I sat in the front of the old Sake Shop behind Ueno park and sketched what I saw. Old buildings, new buildings, loads of criss-crossing power lines and a hedge. I was knackered after walking most of the day and the rest was most welcome.
My wife asked me why I chose my subject matter - she thought it strange. It's simply about perspective and depth I guess. I walk around and just see angles that appeal. So....no really smart answers really.
I sat down on a small wall just outside Yoyogi Park. A man came over and started talking to me in pigeon English and I did my best to respond in pigeon Japanese. This was followed by a policeman coming to 'move me on'. When he saw my sketchbook he simply nodded and walked away - the power of the pencil!
