Tokyo, 2010.09.07

On my way to Japanese class today, I made some long-exposure shots of the crowd passing in Shinagawa station.

I've done it before, but usually on a planned basis, and usually with a tripod. This was just a spur of the moment thing.

'ghosts

At Japanese class, my teacher told me what I needed to hear. That I wasn't going to make the JLPT test I had in mind, this December. She told me, "You've got three months. You need six."
