To and From Work

Many vans in Japan are smaller than normal cars in every direction except heigh - _kei vans_ or _microvans_

I don’t drive for my daily commute, but some in Tokyo do. I spotted these cars as I was leaving work and heading to the train station to catch a ride home. I, like most people in Tokyo, take a train on Tokyo’s extensive rail network. With my camera in hand, I set off from the office and snapped these black and white photos on my way home. I hope you enjoy the ride.

For these shots, I had my RX1 set to a maximum ISO of 25,600, High Contrast JPEG, Manual Focus, and set shutter speed and aperture manually (I was in M mode).

Usually, I catch my final train from Shinjuku and walk ~ 10 minutes from my final station to my flat, but this particular night we decided to just grab some sushi in Shinjuku, and so this is where my story ends.
