Parting Ways

I took this photo while on a summer trip in Japan. On one of our last nights in Tokyo, I went out on a walk to try and capture some of Shinjuku's vibrant nightlife. As it neared midnight, it began to rain; and the streets that had been lively hours before became progressively empty. While making my way back to the hotel, I came across this group of businessmen huddled under their clear plastic umbrellas. I presume they were about to head their separate ways home for the night, but before they did so I was able to take this photo. I think the scene captures the peaceful atmosphere of late-night Shinjuku quite well; representing a time in which remaining restaurants close, the streets clear out, and only a few stragglers are left roaming the light-soaked streets.

Creativity, for me, is a means of expression and fulfillment. Creativity via photography allows me to step back and take a slower, more methodical approach to my day-to-day observations; which in turn leads me to better appreciate the little details in my surrounding world.
