Capturing reflected light on a surface.
There’s something to these house-at-night works that I’m still trying to settle my mind upon. It’s a tension between how utterly tranquil the image is, and the fact you’re viewing the outside of a house, in which someone is asleep, blissfully unaware of the photographer outside.

Itoigawa Staton, Itoigawa. Transitioning from a single-car train to the elevated Hokuriku-Shinkansen line, before proceeding to Kurobe-Unazukionsen Station.
Naoetsu Station skybridge, after leaving an intercity train to board a coastal village connection with the Echigo Tokimeki Railway Nihonkai-Hisui Line, on a single-car train to Itoigawa Staton in Omachi.
