Possible Titles:
-Hook 'Em, Sink 'Em or Hook 'Em & Sink 'Em
-Light on Surface
-Kino-Glaz/Cine-Eye/Kino-Pravda (going to Dziga Vertov's view of the eye and comparison to len which is the mechanical eye "that the camera is an instrument, much like the human eye, that is best used to explore the actual happenings of real life" but this idea is really more interesting to me than relative to my actual images/book)
-Suspended Time or Suspended in Time
-Or adding up the amount of time i roughly took them at and make that the title of the total seconds it took to compose all of these pictures (reminiscent of a like video or a photographer or one stephan told us about who said something like add up the amount of time and the photographer) but this seems played out.

I noticed that all the great documentary photo books are one word titles (not counting the 'the'): The Europeans, The Animals, The Americans. That one title thing seems too played out and too sophisticated for me at this point in time. These all don't feel right so far. though.
But while in here late one night with Eddy and Liz i was kidding around and i just blurted out "I've got some contemporary issues" and then we were like no "we've got contemporary issues" and possibly our blog book title, but I think We've Got Contemporary Issues will be my title. I like the double meaning. Although, it is more a joke to our class, than it will be to an outsider. That's OK though because the normal meaning will make sense, too.

Stephan also suggested just making a Tokyo Black and White book and just cutting out the other stuff. I was thinking like NYC and Japan (just because i like some of the spreads, especially the one of the Japanese hump and then the guy bending over on canal) but that only happens beautifully in a few spreads, so that is the reason why it probably seems majority Tokyo, too.
I will probably end up just doing Tokyo stuff. Last minute opinions on this or the title?

we've got contemporary issues or i've got contemporary issues - PLEASE.
it is so fantastic you can't not do it.
and I'm not saying this just because it is really funny -- I actually feel as though it goes along with your book. No one would question it and be like why on earth is this her title? I think it fits pretty well, AND it accurately describes the book making process.
DO IT.
