Gumnos

After, quietly moving bicycles out of the way and shoving my camera up to the fence, this is the shot I got.

“Yes,” I broke my own rules on this one: there was no way I could have captured this moment if he knew I was there.

This is what I saw from a staircase leading up to Tachikawa station. “LIGHT! TINY SPECK OF A HUMAN BEING! MUST PHOTOGRAPH!” /me runs down stairs, through foot traffic, and across bicycle parking area.

So, spent an hour and a half on the train traveling from my humble abode to Okutama. The goal of this journey was to photograph the turning leaves. The oranges and reds are incredible.

This is what I came back with: a black and white photo of a helmet.

I think I need help.
