I really enjoy these photos of every day life in Tokyo. This type of photography is something I struggle with, some of my attempts are here: http://poglet.net/ Hoping to get a change to go back one day.

Your photos feel a lot less intimate, but are none the less great. I especially like the unnamed street scene further down as well as the photo of the train window. Maybe I'm just thrilled to be reminded of my recent Isaiah vacation though. ;) Your photos also make me want to go back even more and visit Hokkaido. It's just such a wonderful country!

Why did the author mostly creepshot women and children?

Speaking as a male I take great offense to the pejorative 'creepshot'. Very sexist and offensive.

Great photos! You've got a great eye for photography and I like that you're experimenting with a lot of different styles. Keep at it!

The word offends you as a man? How does it?

I don't know how to ask this without it seeming dismissive, but how much more difficult is it to live your normal life by someone's use of this word?

I love how life in Tokyo is so middle-class and family oriented compared to US cities like SF and NYC.

US cities would be middle class and family oriented if middle class and family oriented people chose to live in them. There’s nothing natural or inevitable about suburbia.
