Rat Race
Ikebukuro, Tokyo. The morning rush across the street from the train station and metro. Everyone jostling for space. I think it shows how hectic life can be in an Asian metropolis.
Today was my first try at using long exposures, and I felt that this was the best of the bunch from today. Any constructive criticism is welcome. I took this close-by to my home.

Rat Race belongs to the following groups:
Amazing Asia, Black and White Photography, Japanfluence, Kairos, Street Photography and Photojournalism, The Urban Environment, Timelapse/Long Exposure Photography and Travel and Adventure Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints and Laminated Prints
