Disappear Here

when i traveled to tokyo in July of 2006 i brought several cameras with me. i had both digital and film, medium format, 35mm, and 3 polaroid cameras. after a few days of exploring i found that i was only shooting with the polaroid. maybe it was all of the high-tech electronic devices that i saw on a daily basis that made me want to use an old outdated method of documenting the city. maybe it was the fast pace and bright lights that screamed to be captured and slowed down. whatever it was, the polaroid image, in its self-contained majesty, truly captured the essence of tokyo.Zavada, Zak is the author of 'Disappear Here', published 2007 under ISBN 9781430306214 and ISBN 1430306211.
