I wholeheartedly embrace serendipity (chance) when I wander through cities I really want to get to know. I intentionally get lost and let my intuition and spontaneity guide my gaze, my steps, and my camera. There’s always something – or someone – interesting along my path, waiting to be captured, portrayed, preserved. I took these photographs yesterday afternoon along Kyoto’s Kamo-gawa river (鴨川) in warm and delightful autumn weather.
