Postcards From Japan
From canceled flights, to uncertainty to finding myself in a country unlike any other.
Here is what my eyes saw and what my camera captured
Gate to Inari
This is the entrance to the famous red gates to the entrance of Fushimi Inari Torii in Kyoto Japan. Despite trying to reach early in the morning, it was packed with tourists. This was shot at a slightly upwards angle. The sun light fraction was composed on purpose to emphasise the significance of where I was standing.
Long Way Through
This is the famous corridor of Fushimi Inari, seen from inside — thousands of vermilion gates stacked one behind the next until they dissolve into shadow. Black donor inscriptions climb every pillar, each one a name, a company, a prayer. The empty stone path pulls the eye forward into the quiet.
Reaching this point was a mammoth task. However on reaching this point far beyond the crowds i was able to capture photograph about depth, repetition, and the pull of the walk ahead.
Nose of the Nagoya Bound
Japan is famous for it’s bullet trains but capturing one is a feat in itself. It is about being at the right place at the right time. In fact this particular image was captured while sitting on another bullet train as we reached another station
Blur Line
Trains run like clockwork here. And although at first it can seem quite overwhelming with the different lines, ones you get the hang out it, getting around the country gets to be a very pleasant experience.
