Time past. A time to come. This scene, which only presented itself for a matter of 30secs, was for me at least charged with both a feeling of what had passed and what was to come.
Did a photowalk yesterday on the theme of TIME. Idea was to produce three images on the theme. This is one of mine which also fits the Hemingway Six Word Story project I am putting out on the website this week.
Time project is here:

Walking to the station the other day and spotted the ramp down to an underground car-park not far from my house, in which the last few blossoms to fall had collected.

Shot as part of our bokeh workshop, and also to demonstrate to a couple of the people who were out on the walk with us a little about how to tackle the car park project we put out last week.

"How many nights
Have you spent amongst the city's lights?
Eyes tired, eyes full
Of the neon, the people......"
Out the other day teaching Brett, a photography degree student from Australia. Helping him get some ideas for a major project he is doing for his course. Spent the afternoon walking from Nippori to Ameyoko. Lots of ideas, lots of inspiration for him. :-)
