Tokyo Metro: Discovering The Unexpected Backbone of the City
When I look back on my trips to Tokyo, a handful of experiences rise to the top. Most of them are what you'd expect from travel: iconic destinations, hidden restaurants, shrines tucked between skyscrapers. But one of the most vivid and meaningful memories for me, was something I never planned to see or pursue. Something that happened entirely in the in-between moments.
It was the Tokyo Metro.
Stumbling on a Life-Size Gundam in Tokyo (and What It Taught Me About Lens Choice)
Back in 2016, I was still relatively early in my photography journey- confident enough to start making strong decisions, but not yet experienced enough to think ahead about a lot of things. It was that year when I learned (the hard way), that it was a dumb idea to only bring prime lenses on my second trip to Tokyo- especially since I didn’t really know what kind of subjects or situations I’d run into.
