Rain Man by Tommy Oshima

I have spent hours looking at Tommy Oshima’s photographs. This is one of my favorites. I just love the rain drops and the great blacks.

I have been meaning to point his work out for some time. He lives and works in Japan and is preparing an exhibit so his postings have been light to date, but there is a treasure trove of great photographs in his archives.

This is one of the things I just love about Flickr. Prior to the internet, I looked at a lot of different publications to see what other photographers were up to but now they are self-publishing and I’m really enjoying being exposed to their work. I follow several photographers from Japan and I’ll write about them soon.
