JAPAN ORDINARY -photos-

By Japan Ordinary

I photograph ordinary moments in Japan. Streets, light, silence, and small details of everyday life. Nothing special — and that is exactly what I want to share.

"A good photograph does not inform the viewer that the photographer was there, but convinces the viewer that they are there." -Ted Mura By Mura's definition, these are good photographs. As visual statements, they are superb. The first thing I look for in my in-box.
