Photographing Emptiness

Osaka, Thursday, 4 aM

Osaka, Thursday, 4 a.m. The shadows seem to try to be menacing. The streets want to be empty.

Night Parking

At night the city is full of empty parking lots. Always lit, sometimes with a single space and another companies parking lot, again a single space, right next to it.

Around the corner. Japan.

Most nights, after 3 or 4 am, we would go through the back streets of wherever we were staying and look at what things are like without the people. These streets reminded me of the last scene of “On the Beach,” from the 60’s or so. They left me feeling very despondent and alone. The end of the movie went through my head over and over.
