Tokyo Photo Book - 東京情景
Tuesday, 25 May 2010
Another photo book has been added to my collection. This time I made a Tokyo one called 東京情景 - "Tokyo Scenes" and I put together the photos I have taken and shared here since I started this blog last year.And yes, I have said before that I will have a thank you giveaway when this blog had the first anniversary a while back. It has taken me so much time to finally get to do it but yes now I'm having a giveaway keeping my words! I would like to give 2 of my loving blog readers a copy each of this little tokyo photo book to thank you for all your support over the year (and a bit) as all your comments have always made me happy and helped me keep this going :) So if anyone is interested in receiving this little book please let me know in your comments. I will pick two winners on Sunday evening!
I have made quite a few photo books over the last 5 years, all made with photoback but I've been wanting to try blurb. Maybe next time!
ALSO.... as I mentioned earlier, check out Ebony's Hello Sandwich Tokyo Guide Zine! It looks woooonderful!!!
.
wow nice books! congrats for making another beautiful book! on a side note, i tried blurb i thought their software is quite good! you can give that a try, their software is free anyway :)
ReplyDeletefor a moment there i thought you had bought this book, but wow, it's your own work. looks divine!
ReplyDeleteoh to be talented!
a while back i started making a photo book using blurb, but i never completed it...
would be interesting to see how your find using blurb. maybe next time!?
congrats Hiki !!!!! Doing another book is a great idea !
ReplyDeleteI'd love to add it to my tokyo book pile !!!!
Bisous !
These are amazing, you made them?!
ReplyDeleteI've only recently found your blog but it is gorgeous and so inspiring so I would love to win one of your books.

ReplyDeleteHello Hiki!
ReplyDeleteI discovered your blog only a few months ago, but it quickly became one of my favourites. I really enjoy looking your photos and I've become more interested in Japanese culture and lifestyle. Congratulations for the book :)!!
Oh wow, your beautiful photos look brilliant in their new book! I don't know why it's never occurred to me that you might have Melbourne photos in your Flickr stream - just clicked over after seeing the book in the background above and had a lovely browse!
ReplyDeleteWow, these look beautiful, you have such a great eye. :)
ReplyDeleteah hiki this looks beautiful! i would love love one! ;)

Hi Hiki! Congratulations on your blog anniversary soon!
ReplyDeleteLike Rhianne, I only discovered your blog a few months ago and I'm already loving it! Please put me down for the competition as well :)
Hi Hiki
ReplyDeleteJust got the magazines today. Love them, can not wait to get home and have time to look at them more carefully. So inspiring: )
I would love to get one of the books, I am a sucker for Japanese culture and I am planning a trip to tokyo next year. It could be great to be inspired by your fantastic book. I would love to get one.

my first comment here... i don't dare to visit often, i'm almost sick missing japan so much. your book(s) look great!
ReplyDeleteAh! Sorry, I made a mistake! I was supposed to write 'congratulations on your new book'! I'm such a nut.
ReplyDeleteso beautiful ... I made my first one about Poland few weeks ago ...
ReplyDelete今回は初コメントです！いつも楽しく拝見させていただいています。Hikiさんの写真いつもきれいでうらやましいです！私も写真うまくなりたい！
ReplyDelete「東京情景」ほしいです！当たるかな…
Oh wow. A special edition Hiki book! Who wouldn't want that?! It looks gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI really want one! Looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteI also thought that you had bought the book at first. You should sell them. Your photos are beautiful. I would love to have one.
ReplyDeleteI've seen some pictures of Ebony's zine online - it looks fantastic! I wish I was returning to Tokyo some time soon!
oh my! it looks gorgeous! i want one!
ReplyDeleteoh congratulations on year one, hiki! they are all amazing books, do share more beautiful pages with us, i love the colours and mood of the tokyo one!
ReplyDeleteI will have to check out those photobook-making websites; yours look beautiful and professional! Though, I'm sure your great photography and eye for design have a lot to do with that ;)
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in the draw; I'd love to have one of these beauties for myself!
(Oh haha, I just clicked and saw that Photoback is in Japanese, haha. Well, hope I can find a service that binds in a similar style, rather than with a hard spine like blurb. Or, maybe I'll just have to get kinda crafty and make my own, zine-style lol!)
oh wow, it looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if I have before left a comment here but I've been reading you blog for a while already and it's lovely:)
おお、その本見たい〜♪
ReplyDeleteI have been reading your blog for a while and always love your pictures! I would LOOOVE to get a copy of the book...... :)
ReplyDeleteyour photography is very beautiful. the book looks lovely. from the looks of it though, you may want to stay with photoback. blurb is good, but i don't think the quality may be as good as what you've been using.
ReplyDeletei always look forward to your posts :)
oh!! i am so interested!!!! i am keeping my fingers crossed: i would love to have one of these.
ReplyDeletewow, the book looks wonderful! your pictures are always so, so lovely, i would love love love to have a copy!

ReplyDeleteHi Hiki,
ReplyDeleteI would love to have it! I love the photos of Japan you post in your blog! They make me feel calm and serene. I think it will be my favourite book which I will never be bored of looking at!
