View From Trains

I find my way onto the platform at Hakata station, ready to head to wherever it is I am going. With a little camera in my hand, (my 35mm camera doesn't have video) I board the train and the windows show me a world I didn't know before coming to Japan. The rice has just been planted in many of these fields and it's the rainy season which means lots of fog. I love photographing fog and so why not capture it on video? Seems to make sense to me. The view is predominately from Fukuoka prefecture in Kyushu but a couple of scenes from Oita prefecture made there way into this short film. The music I chose to accompany my work is by Chris Whitley. It is a song called: "Make the dirt stick".
