Shinjuku Station

unhappy 500x329 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.
  • I like it also. You can capture a lot of moments in a train station.

    Ah, yes, i had seen this. This one must have taken some nuts! You're down on one knee, right? It works so well because of that broken triangle thing; you're focused on him, she wondering what the hell you think you're doing, and he is desperately trying to get anything back into focus. Anything.

    Stations are indeed great places to shoot. The flow of people, mixed with the periods of boredom associated with mundane travel... so many places to hide in all that.
