In the Flow, Shibuya

This image was made in Shibuya, after my son and I spent an hour looking for a different way to photograph the famous crossing. He was using his grandfather’s Olympus Pen, and we decided to try capturing each other within the movement. He positioned himself perfectly for this frame, which makes it special to both of us.

The August humidity made the light feel heavy, and umbrellas were out for both the sun and the chance of rain. I stopped in front of this ramen shop and waited, watching the scene settle into its own pace, until this person walked through and the frame came together.
