monday blues



it's monday again tomorrow. i was told off to come on time, so i have to leave the house earlier than "normal"... =(
taking the train is such a pain now since we moved to the "new" office. i have to change trains thrice and endure these crazily packed trains. (before, i was able to sit, and sleep all the way till my stop.)
i was planning to make a series of my daily commute. i still have to get shots of people running to change to the other train line, not to mention people being pushed in just to be able to close the train doors. crazy...

    yeah, tsukin by the train is painful.
    I, even japanese, cannot stand it.
    that is why i ride bicycle to work, :)
    however, taking photos of the painful lives makes you joyful, kamone...

    go and find araki's book "Subway Love"

    he documented his commute to work for 9 or 10 years. worth reading the interview at the back of the book.

    i have another subway book by a NY photographer I'll bring along next time..

    once again some very powerful photos.

    i'm glad to be away from that tsukin-rush. here in hong kong the trains come every 2 minutes during rush hour so most people just wait for the next train.

    > world of sekimachihato - thanks. trains come one after the other here too, but there are just too many people riding them it is useless to wait.

    > herr liebretz - thanks. and thanks for mentioning me in your blog.
