Out of Time – Tokyo, Seen Slowly

This roll isn’t really about Tokyo moving — it’s about it standing still for a second. The Leica slows me down. Metropolis strips away the color until everything feels like a memory. There wasn’t a plan with this roll. I just walked, watched, and let things happen. Looking back, there’s a pattern — small moments, people moving through space, the way light hangs on something ordinary just long enough for you to notice.

Phone Booth

Still standing where it always was.

Someone ending a call — that’s it.

No rain, no neon, just a person in a glass box that probably doesn’t get used much anymore.

But it still sits there, same as ever.

Sometimes that’s all a photo needs - something that doesn’t try too hard.

Holding Hands

Sometimes you see it and you just know.

I saw this and had to get it.

Two people crossing the street, hands meeting right in the middle of the frame.

It happened fast — no time to think, just a reflex.

No setup, no story — just timing and a little bit of luck.

Long Shadow Crosswalk

Just light, timing, and luck.

The light did all the work here.It was late, the sun low enough to stretch everything across the street. People walking different directions — none of them paying attention to me.I like when a frame just exists like that, no setup, no second chance.

Couple Sitting, Another Walking

Stillness and motion sharing the frame.

There’s a rhythm in this one I didn’t see until after.

One couple resting, another passing behind them.

It’s the kind of shot that says more about the pace of the city than any skyline.

Quiet but alive — like Tokyo when you actually slow down and listen.d l

Flower Close-Up

A small flower by the side of the street — easy to miss.

After everything else, it just felt right to stop here.

Nothing dramatic, just something living in all the gray.

Metropolis doesn’t show Tokyo how it looks — it shows how it feels when the noise fades. Muted tones, soft light, and moments that sit somewhere between now and then.This roll ended up being a reminder for me: You don’t need a big story, or perfect conditions. You just need to be out there, paying attention, when something ordinary turns into a photograph.
