Waiting for my train, a Shinkansen flew into the opposing platform and stopped for a while. I like how the windows create a repeating pattern, each a porthole into a different person’s journey- some sleeping, some on their phones, others just sat contemplating life. Everyone in the same place, at the same time, but for completely different reasons. I thought the scene would make a good abstract and managed to fire a few shots before the train sped out of the platform- reuniting the lady with her husband and the businessman with his kids.
This is my third blog feature on the shinkansen- take a look at part one and part two.

its a trilling photo (No. 3). So simple yet so effective. Each window, another story. i love that you did this in black and white.

Thank you so much! I tried it in colour first and it just didn’t seem to have the same resonance.
