Peak Hour by Chaz Ellis

I studied in Tokyo, Japan for a few months while I was in college. The classes were pretty intense and free time was somewhat a luxury. However, every so often I managed to explore the city with my camera.

This photograph is just one of many I took during my aimless adventures in Tokyo. One that also speaks to the everyday routine. In Japan commuting is efficient. Train and buses arrive on the dot, taxi drivers pickup and go from their queue and during rush hour nothing stands still.
