movement statement
-----
Sitting on a mass transit system, fading into the crowd, and becoming one with the masses is an uplifting experience, as I make my way through the maze of Tokyo, via bicycle, bus and subway. I especially love the bus. On the bus you can press your face up against the glass and just gaze out into the wonderment of this sprawl. The subway is a heights ride too; however, most of it is underground in the city center. Only on the outskirts of Tokyo does it venture above ground. The train lines pass thousands of concrete apartments that reach into the sky. Riding along with the anonymous crowds I feel comfortable with my camera as companion.
