Thomas Struth, Shinju-ku (Skyscrapers), Tokyo 1986
I will be visiting Tokyo for the next 9 days as I am leaving tomorrow morning on an editorial assignment. It’s my first time traveling to Japan as well as any place in East Asia.
Needless to say I am getting very excited.
The above photograph by Thomas Struth is one of my favorites. Although most people tend to rave about his colorful (and overrated) Museum Photographs, I prefer his crisp black & white 8 x 10 photographs of empty urban environments shot in cities around the world. You can see more of those photographs here.
