Not having a good run

A couple of extra comments about yesterdays topics: fashion here is frequently weird not just sometimes. And women, young & old, NEVER go out with out a full face of make up (unless they are old crones). There is one exception; I have it on good authority that women will often wear a mask to cover up if they cannot be bothered slapping a face on. Ingenious!
Goodness despite weeks of meticulous planning, I'm having a run of bad luck with my Tokyo shoots:
Yesterday: Tokyo skyline with the Tower from Rappongi - cancelled because of an exhibition in the observation space  And a rooftop shoot - cancelled - rooftop closed because of rain.
This morning the amazing architecture site that took a huge effort to locate, and arrange a guide, cancelled because the building managers do not allow photographers' access any longer. I had trekked out to Kanagawa: 2 trains, plus walking, over an hour each way. Pity the guide did not check that out.
A major faux pas. I was deeply disappointed.  This is what I should have been shooting this morning...

The building I wasn't allowed to photograph - this is someone else's shot. Lucky sod.

Ah well man up, and move on...
So this afternoon I went out to shoot the Skytree from a different spot, successful in terms of not being misdirected by social media dweebs but unfortunately no sunset. And then I moved on to Asakusa and the Sensoji Temple. A hugely popular place but I didn't get there till just before 6pm so not the crowds of gazillions as earlier would be, although enough to make photographing challenging.
I thought about seeing if I could get a ticket to go up the Skytree, second only in height to the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. But I decided I'd much rather photograph it than go up it.
So in total I was out there working it for over 11 hours today with precious little result to show for it - that's show biz.
