Grey Interval

This is the only series so far for which I paid a model. Kitaro-san was highly professional and genuinely such a nice person. We started near Ikebukuro and kept photographing as we walked toward Mejiro. Later we entered a nearby university campus and found a small green garden inside.

I love the randomness in these photographs. Streets, shop windows, flower walls and the greenery of the campus kept changing, while Kitaro-san could step naturally into every scene. A professional model, the streets of Japan and whatever we happened to find along the way were enough to create something beautiful and fun.
