Last week, me and Kenta spent some time in the Shin-Okubo section on Tokyo, exploring and photographing a small skate park called "The Ghetto". "The Ghetto" is nestled between a plethora of love hotels, and it was originally a love hotel itself, later converted the skate park it is today. The appeal of this place is the ridiculous amount of dope graffiti all around the building and inside. There is work by some of the best and well known writers in the Tokyo area, making a prime location to do a project about Graffiti in Tokyo. It is especially a good place to do a project with only a mobile phone for a couple of reasons. Mobile phone filming, by nature, is kinda of lower quality and "artsy." With all the complex styles and colors associated with the graffiti at "The Ghetto" it really gives you the room to do some interesting stuff. All this being said I am excited to get to work on this project and see how it turns out.
