I’ll probably never see her again. Or at the very least, get on the same train car as she.

I wish I had my camera on me last June on the train from Kashiwa back to Matsudo. I was in a similar predicament. Oh well.

Oh, man, Susan Sontag. Let’s capture That Moment with a camera and remember it forever.

Seriously, though, with a coat like that this woman was clearly a time traveller. You’ll have to wait until the 22nd century or find your way back to the 20th to meet up with her again.

No!

Sontag got it all wrong. It is THROUGH the camera that your experience is heightened.

The camera is not in the way, it IS the way.

The photo is the evidence of this.
