Finally did a little purposeful shooting the other day.

Unusual is Shibuya’s normal.
Station raw

Team Mask
Most people in this 13 millions person city do thing's in groups. Wearing masks I guess is one of them.
Still up for it

Dazed
Game on.
This really sums up the life of people in Toyko. "I'm living here but would rather be somewhere else".
Station life
A wasted evening wasting film. C41 shot in Shinjuku station through a rangefinder and a 50mm lens. This could have been shot yesterday or 3 years ago. It's now all the same to me.
Reflection
He started it. I'm only following.
Anxious look as the storm arrives
Last Xpan II shot for a while. Candid shot of an old guy looking a bit worried about the storm that was coming.
Photo booth 2
Part of a series. From the archives.
Girl in the mirror
Taken with the trusty Voigtlander Bessa R2A. Now had I used canon's new camera, the 5D mk2 We'd have had an out of focus shot. A wonderfully exposed, out of focus shot mind you.
Whats going on?
Sometimes you're afraid to ask...
Shinjuku Station
So I often find my favorite place to shoot these days is on the way home from somewhere. The great thing about stations is that people are transitioning and are usually not in one place for that long. They don't want to move from their place in the que and are often in their own world wasting time until the train arrives which is the perfect environment for me to be shooting in. Why go find the people when you can let them all come to you? The difficult part is that a hasselblad or rolleiflex is not subtle and a regular rangefinder or slr is very obvious so you still have to pick your moments.
