This is a first for me… listening to a photography talk. I always know shooting strangers is the toughest challenge… you might get ferocious stare from strangers. ^_^”
Xavier Comas shared pretty much about how he went on conceptualising his whole project while travelling in Tokyo. I could relate to his experience… Without any intended plan & being open minded gives you the chance to experience something new… . I had a great time getting lost & meeting nice folks in Tokyo as well.
Every photo should have a story behind it to invoke meaning and a form of emotion. Although most of the time i’m just being random -_-”
Pasajero is the Spanish word for Passenger, but it also means fleeting or ephemeral. This double sense embodied the artist’s entire journey through Tokyo. Xavier Commas also mentioned a Japanese phrase ‘Ichigo Ichie’ – one meeting, one time, which sums up his project. Every meeting with someone, whether a stranger, or a friend we see regularly, should be appreciated as thought it were the last time.
