Becoming a mere spectator
Ginza, Tokyo, June 4, 2004. Bessa L, CV 21mm f/4, Konica Pan 400
It’s not everyday I can receive an insightful comment about my work, something that opens the eyes and makes me see the photo anew, from a different perspective, while at the same time articulating things that I felt intuitively myself but couldn’t verbalize. Thanks Dirk.

Disengaging a bit in Kanda-Jimbocho
Kanda-Jimbocho, Tokyo, July 10, 2004. Leica M6, CV 35mm f/2.5 P, Konica Pan 400
Here’s a new series shot in Tokyo’s Kanda-Jimbocho, often called the largest book market in the world due to the high concentration of new and secondhand bookstores one can find there (135-plus stores). Wasn’t feeling very engaged when shooting these, hence the series’ title. Perhaps I’ve been too engaged in shooting of late. Sometimes it’s good to relax a bit.
I previously wrote about this area of Tokyo here.
