I find that, when I'm taking short trips to cities I've been to several times, I either don't take many pictures, or I do, but they're sort of random and pointless. I've been thinking that, this time, I should try to make myself a sort of project, so keep myself focussed, you know?I'm going to Tokyo this weekend for 4 or 5 days, and would like to come back with something of interest. My first idea was one I saw in a thread somewhere here on flickr a while back: basically, rock up to a place with a bunch of people; chat someone up, and ask them where nearby they'd suggest you visit; get them to write the name of the place on a big notebook, and hold it up, while you take their picture, placing them at your current location; go to the place they recommended; lather rinse repeat.And while it could be good, I kind of want a back-up if people aren't all that chatty when I'm there, you know?tl;dr: I'm going to Tokyo and want something more than random snaps.Soooo any suggestions?Pic related only in that I took it in Japan.EXIF data available.
