JAPAN ‘19

I didn’t go there with a plan to shoot - I went with curiosity.

But walking the streets of Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo, something clicked.

I started noticing the small stories: a salaryman asleep on the last train, neon lights bleeding into the rain, an old woman sweeping her doorstep at sunrise.

It wasn’t about perfect shots - it was about presence.

The trip didn’t just leave me memories; it gave me a way to see.

Looking back, Japan 2019 wasn’t just travel.

It was the quiet start of everything I now chase with a camera.

…and also the moment I realized street photography is mostly walking and waiting - and loving it.
