South x Southeast Photogallery

South x Southeast Photogallery

A ramen chef in a train station in Tokyo serving up bowls of noodles to customers.

Two of my images from Tokyo are included in the current exhibition Food + Drink + All the Accoutrements, curated by Nancy McCrary, which will be running at the South X Southeast gallery through April. Prints are available of these two images through the gallery. The exhibition takes a look at global food and dining culture.
