Notes

  • The Dentsu Building, Tokyo Japan. This building quickly became my favourite building in Japan. It shouldnt come as a surprise to most of you I love these types of buildings. This shot was taken just a few feet away from the previous shot.


    Dentsu is Japan's largest advertising agency and this building was designed by French architect and Pritzker Prize winner Jean Nouvel. Its sleek, sexy and thin, if you can call a building those things. :-)


    The title of this shot is a little bit of an internal joke. Even though the building is called Dentsu Tower, I couldnt help but call it Densetsu Tower, after my friend Denny.

  • Impressive building. Love the composition end the B&W tones.
    pernilla @ 08-09-2009
  • Ominous and elegant. The angle and edges give the building a weightless yet powerful presence. Nice greyscale tones.

  • Is that the agency Araki used to work for?

    Reminds me of a grave headstone or the monolith in Space Odyssey 2001.

  • Wow...I can see why it became your favourite. A very impressive shot, strong, powerful and full of drama. The sky is amazing.

  • Great composition, the angle of the building with the frame sharpening yet the thinness of it. I like too the large space you gave to the sky, to tell us this building has no rival around.

  • cool angle and great composition.
    md.Hafiz @ 08-10-2009
  • SUPERB!
    Omar @ 08-12-2009
  • Very nice composition and placement. I'd like to see just a tiny bit more room between the top edge of the building and the frame, but it's a minor thing. Great angle!
    Bob Towery @ 08-14-2009
  • Nice view. I think the "vignetting-effect" is to visible... Nice angle btw.
    espennilsen @ 08-16-2009
  • Works beautifully in mono.
    terrorkitten @ 08-20-2009
  • Very edgy (even Frisky) but refreshing framing.
    LightningPaul @ 08-24-2009
