2011 PDN Photo Annual

Posted by Forest, 18 July 2011

So stoked to be selected as one of the photographers featured in the 2011 PDN Photo Annual!

I took this shot of my friend Yusuke in on of the crowded subway stations of Tokyo while traveling last Oct/Nov in Japan. I entered it in the PDN photo contest on a whim, the last day that the contest was open to entries. It is the only photo I have ever entered in a contest, and you can imagine my surprise when I found out that it was selected. I must send a big thanks to Yusuke for his help in making this shot happen!

I parked my wheelchair,
