Street Photography in Omiya: A Love Affair
Omiya, situated in Saitama just north of Tokyo, feels indistinguishable from the metropolis despite being in a different prefecture. This hidden gem is often nicknamed "little Shinjuku" and doesn’t fail to impress. With hardly any tourists, some might argue it’s even better than its well-known counterpart. What captivates me is the contrast between the dark, gritty side of the station and the vibrant lights of the commercial area on the other side.
Collections: Texture
One way to sharpen skills is to create image collections, such as texture. Any city is full of texture, and Tokyo is no different. Texture can be literal, like grime on a brick wall or an abandoned bicycle leaning against an old building. I see the texture in a city as history—a layer behind all the beautiful things that make a great neighbourhood.
