Thinking About This Photograph

This photograph was taken in Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

 This is a photograph of the mailbox behind the “Dentsu Ginza Building” in Ginza 7-chome.

 At that time, the head office of “Dentsu”, a major Japanese advertising agency, was located in the “Dentsu Ginza Building”.

 The “Dentsu Ginza Building” was completed in 1933 and is an 8-story building that was 88 years old. It seems that it was the tallest building in Ginza at that time.

 For some reason, this building has a mailbox on the back of the building.

 I was attracted to such a strange landscape and released the shutter.

 In addition, the dark tones of the tiled building exterior add a nice touch to the photo.

 As a photographic technique, the exposure is set to be slightly underexposed in order to take advantage of the dark tones of the tiles.

 Old buildings have a “Tasteful” in any state of preservation.
