And in those ten days, I realised one thing: there is no better country to photograph for someone who does street photography, and not only that. I&#8217;ve only just started going through the photos I took, and here I&#8217;m sharing a small selection, just a small part of the work I did between Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara and Osaka. The truth is, I still have more than 1,200 photos to review, sort out, and edit. It&#8217;s going to be a long summer, I think.<\/p>\n<p>What I found was a Japan with two faces. One electric, dynamic and chaotic, made up of saturated, vivid colours. The other was a quieter, more contemplative Japan, filled with old signs, slower rhythms and, who knows, maybe deeper thoughts too. For a photographer, the most frustrating thing is always choosing which road to take: you turn into an alley hoping to find a treasure, never knowing what images you might have found if you had taken a different one instead. But that&#8217;s part of the game, and it&#8217;s also what makes street photography so exciting.<\/p>\n<p>It brings to mind Koudelka&#8217;s famous quote: &#8220;When you live in a place for long, you become blind because you do not observe anything. I travel not to go blind&#8221;. I can&#8217;t wait to discover what other images I brought back from this trip, a trip that, perhaps only now, as I begin to look at it through the photographs, is turning into a new memory.<\/p>\n<p>More info: <a data-ylk=\"slk:Instagram;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alessiotrerotoli\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"
