"Dodging People & Fish at Tsukiji - 1991"
Still busy, but only a collection of a lot of individuals going about their work day.
I was driven to capture as much of Tokyo on video as I could back then (1990-92), and it was a video quest that led me to enter the Tsukiji fish market. The resulting analog tapes slept in their cases within boxes at the back of closets for many years, and have - through the magic (or curse) of time, become interesting in a historical way, which was not my intention when I took them! I was capturing "Tokyo Today", and now - suddenly it feels - it's history? Time is a fearsome thing! In any case, here is the link to the video entitled "Tsukiji Fishmarket - 1991":

The quality of the picture isn't great, due to my having dialed the size down quite low (to keep from going over my limit at YouTube). To get an idea of what the picture quality really is (of the digitized-from-analog tapes), have a look at this commercially prepared version (used in a TV ad for HowStuffWorks.com) of the Pack-'em-in" video I took the same year as the Tsukiji video:

PS - Ever since having updated to FireFox 3.0.3, I've had trouble with it unceremoniously crashing on me when I try doing much within Husi, so I'm going to get this ready in a text editor, and then just drop it into Husi and not make links or check spelling or do anything that will crash FireFox. Sorry the links are not linked, but there's the reason why!
