I always love powerlines they are, an artist's great compositional get-out-of-jail card. Truth be told I screen clipped a picture of some electricity workers or telecoms workers in that street scene seen you posted about a week back with a view to turning into a painting or drawing. I eagerly open you and your father's work every day, to see what I'm going to enjoy. God Bless you both and and your wonderful beguiling country.
Oh I made a selection of Tokyo drawings sometime ago pulling them together in a PDF sketchbook so if you want me to send you a copy let me know.
Thank you so much for always taking the time to look at the photos of my father and me.
I used to absolutely hate landscapes with power lines, thinking how much better the view would be without them. Recently, however, I’ve started to feel that they might be one of the essential elements that define the character of modern Japan. Now, I find myself intentionally pointing my lens toward them.
I would love to see your paintings of Tokyo. How can I go about viewing them?

You will find us a story-sketchbooks there as well - different parts of our world. Warmest wishes again, a lovely tribute to your father's work this evening I saw and enjoyed those flowers. as ever Tim
I downloaded and looked through your sketchbook. It’s such a wonderful piece of work; with Japanese stamps and scraps of wrapping paper tucked away on various pages, it felt as if I were reliving your journey from many different perspectives. Tim, thank you so much for sharing your amazing work with me! (^o^)
These photos are, amazing doesnt seem to be the right word. As I said, I love your black and white photos, there is something about them. And there is also something about powerlines in general but also something about them in Japan. Not quite sure what it is, but they have a certain look to them which I like.
Thank you, Harold! I’m so happy to hear that you like my photos.
In Japan, there is a gradual movement across various regions to move power lines underground. Perhaps in a few decades, landscapes featuring these overhead wires will have become something old-fashioned and nostalgic.
electrical power lines and posts fascinate me! Also how they look different in different countries. In the UK there is still a really old fashioned system in many places for them with lots of lines spreading out radially from one pole.
As you suggested, the appearance of power lines stretching from utility poles varies by country, and perhaps they are one of the elements that shape the unique landscape of each nation.
These are a remarkable set of pictures.

Power lines; at times geometric, at times chaotic, always nice in black & white.
Thank you! I agree that monochrome photography really suits the way power lines divide the sky.

Black and white harmony.
