This is a photo book about Tokyo and people I met in the streets of the metropolis - 40 artistically remastered photographs. It is a very unique and special gift for yourself or your friends and family.

It takes an open mind, a lot of time, plenty of luck and a good camera to do street photography. But, alas, most of the time the result is disappointing. The "decisive moment" is a nice concept but nothing you can force to achieve. It is there, or not - mostly not. And even if you are lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time and manage to press the button just then - in the end what you have is a photograph. Well, great, but 4 million pictures are uploaded to Instagram every hour (more than 1000 every second). So your picture is nothing but a drop in the ocean. Maybe a special, wonderful, beautiful drop - but: So what? Who cares?

And if you have a tendency to see beauty or greatness or singularity in everyday things or scenes and take pictures thereof you are in trouble. Show them to other people and you can literally see how they think you are not quite right in your mind. These ordinary things?

Photography does not end with the click on the button. If you take it seriously you know that the raw image is just the beginning. For me, the long sessions in front of the screen, the dark room of today, bring the moments when street photography metamorphises in art work. Pictures of little things, tiny moments, nothing important. But beautiful. Or interesting. Or even meaningful.

At least: different.
