Tokyo-Tower-Front-and-Center - Limited edition
This is a truly unique limited edition run of 20 prints on Fujifilm Crystal Archive paper, available in only two sizes, capturing the essence of Wabi-Sabi. The view of Tokyo Tower was discovered completely by accident one evening as I kept catching glimpses of it in the reflections of nearby buildings. After wandering through alleys and parks for over 20 minutes, I finally found the perfect street. Just as I set up my camera, it began to rain, and the droplets on my lens created a beautiful, unintended effect, stretching the lights in the lower part of the frame. Combined with the long exposure technique I was using, the result was something entirely unplanned but visually stunning. However, I wasn’t ready to present the image until I gave it special treatment to manage the highlights and maintain balanced contrast. Now, I’m very happy to finally share this image, which has grown to be one of my most cherished and unique depictions of Tokyo Tower.
